Lokesh Kanagaraj says trolls will stop after Allu Arjun film

Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj has responded to online trolling over his recent work, saying he is unfazed by the criticism. According to m9.news and greatandhra.com, a supporting actor from Lokesh's acting debut film DC revealed in an interview that Lokesh told him even his mother sends him the meme trolls. Lokesh said, 'If our work is good, people will celebrate us. If there is a mistake, we will become a troll.'

Lokesh acknowledged that trolling increased after the reception of his last two films, Leo and Coolie, which drew criticism. But he expressed strong confidence in his upcoming directorial AA23 starring Allu Arjun. 'When it releases, these trolls will automatically stop,' he said. Some netizens have questioned his confidence, recalling he was humble before Vikram. The film AA23 is now entering pre-production.
