All of a sudden it looks like one particular humongous fan base has become a victim of satires, criticism and punches. There is no second thought in saying that ‘Mega Fans’ are the mightiest fan base any other heroes would have, but right now they are the ones who are taking brickbats from many quarters. A series of happenings are seriously upsetting them, and here goes the ordeal.
Couple of weeks back, when the news of Puri Jagan’s exit from 150th film has sprouted, it is fans who have faced the embarrassment. Whether the news of Vinayak replacing Jagan is mere work of gossip mills or not, few critics blasted Megastar Chiranjeevi for his unstable decisions and started connecting it to his political migrations from PRP to Congress. All these discussions happen on social network, and mega fans are at the end of taking the blame.
Later, Megastar lambasted AP CM Chandrababu for his hypocritical nature and accused him of making inadequate security arrangements that killed 30+ people at Pushkar Ghat in Rajahmundry. As Chiru asked Naidu to resign from CM post, critics lashed out at him on his uncalled-for comments rather helping out the victims. With Pawan Kalyan speaking only about victims and distancing from the political angle, once again Chiru faced brickbats as many critics asked him to learn from his younger brother. In this episode also, fans who supported Chiru suffered major criticism.
The other day anchor Anasuya claimed that fans of Allu Arjun are blaming her quite verbally in unparliamentarily language. Forget the language, but ‘mega fans’ got hurt the way Anasuya described Bunny in a recent interview. However Bunny’s close aide Bunny Vasu mentioned that their team is happy for Anasuya’s love towards Bunny and feigned ignorance of the whole episode. After batting on Bunny’s side for couple of days, this is a death blow to fans for sure.
On a closing note, we have to talk about director Ram Gopal Varma’s comments on twitter. He claims that Megastar is nothing before Baahubali and asked him to surrender the ‘mega’ tag. Also Ramu made fun of Chiru in all sorts by pointing out that 150th film is nothing if it is not on Baahubali’s scale. His senseless tweets have triggered a fan war online, where mega fans are at receiving end again.
Do all these happening prove how mega fans have become victims of criticism or not? At least some hero from the mighty family should give a retort to criticism on social network, rather interacting with couple of fans at Chiranjeevi blood bank. What say folks?
