Netizens react to Dileep-starrer Thankamani’s first look poster: ‘Why is he still called Janapriyanayagan? 

Will the audience accept Dileep as their Janapriyanayagan?

When the first look poster for Dileep’s Thankamani was unveiled, his fans were quick to respond to it positively, while many others shared mixed reactions on Reddit. Users expressed their displeasure with Dileep’s film, as many swore not to watch it due the actor being accused in an assault case earlier, involving an actress. 

Over the past few years, the Janapriynayagan’s films have consistently failed at the box office due to the assault case as well as for his choice of poor scripts. So, now will Thankamani change the actor’s career graph or will it be yet another disappointing film? Audiences may have to wait to see what the Bandra actor has in store for his fans.
