Venkat Prabhu on film
Director Venkat Prabhu recently said why, The GOAT didn't work in Telugu and Hindi. Talking to fans on X (formerly Twitter) Spaces, the director said his favourite Indian Premiere League (IPL) team could’ve been the reason. The GOAT’s climax occurs is set against a Chennai Super Kings (CSK) match at the Chepauk Stadium. Vijay’s character tries to stop a bomb from exploding. Venkat said this aspect might have limited the film’s appeal outside Tamil Nadu.
He said, “Because of that, Mumbai Indians (MI) and RCB (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) fans troll me. We are all CSK fans - it’s in our blood and we can’t deny that. Maybe, it’s because of the CSK connection that this movie didn’t appeal much to Telugu and Hindi audiences. I don’t think they enjoyed the moment like we did.”
