Megastar Chiranjeevi is currently making headlines on social media, but unfortunately, for the wrong reasons. His recent attempt to convey a positive message -essentially asking people not to “kill” a movie -has sparked backlash. Chiranjeevi was supporting Thaman’s comments from yesterday, where Taman criticized social media for spreading negativity and said this growing culture on Telugu social media is harmful. He indirectly expressed his frustration about the negativity surrounding Game Changer.
However, these remarks have led to widespread criticism and accusations of bias.

Social media users from different fandoms are attacking Chiranjeevi for allegedly being partial towards his son Ram Charan.
Thousands of posts question why Chiranjeevi speaks out only when negativity affects Ram Charan.

These fans highlight similar incidents in the past, such as the attacks on Junior NTR after RRR (when mega fans portrayed NTR as a side hero), which did not prompt any response from Chiranjeevi—even though this campaign is massive and an unprecedented attack on a star hero of his stature.
Likewise, when Devara was badly attacked as Acharya 2 or when Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 faced heavy targeting and even calls for boycotts from some Janasena leaders Chiranjeevi remained silent.

Allu Arjun fans have also joined the bandwagon asking why Chiranjeevi never spoke out in support of Allu Arjun during these attacks.
The general sentiment among fans of other stars is that Chiranjeevi only speaks up when his son’s film or his films like Acharya are involved.
They argue that if he had previously addressed negativity against other heroes, his current remarks about Game Changer would have been taken more seriously. Instead, these statements are now seen as biased and self sympathy-serving.
In conclusion, while Chiranjeevi’s message about avoiding negativity to support cinema is valid, it has not been well-received due to perceptions of his extreme bias. Fans argue that films like Bhola Shankar, Acharya, and Game Changer failed because of poor content, not social media negativity. They argue that such failures are inevitable regardless of online trolls.
Chiranjeevi’s statements seem to have missed the mark, as the backlash stems from years of unaddressed concerns. While his intentions may have been genuine, but other heroes fans feel this message would have been better received if it had been applied consistently to all other heroes, not just his son Ram Charan’s.
