SS Rajamouli’s Globetrotter event to reveal the title of his film Varanasi streamed officially on JioHotstar. The event started late, yet viewers remained eager to see the first look. YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani hosted it, and many users felt he looked nervous and not at his usual pace.
The livestream struggled throughout. Users complained about constant lag that disrupted their viewing. JioHotstar also failed to show the audience at the venue properly. With audio issues added on top, the event looked weak and poorly handled.
Camera angles during introductions and performances were off and gave viewers a bad view of the stage. These mistakes made the presentation feel even more unplanned.
Fans were irritated by nonstop ads and sponsor plugs that kept breaking the flow. Many felt the makers looked too focused on ad revenue. They questioned why a film aiming for global reach needed such a small approach during a major reveal.
The Globetrotter event had the scale to be one of the biggest title reveals ever. But JioHotstar’s poor handling of the stream turned into a major setback in SS Rajamouli’s grand promotional run.
