- Unnecessary Focus on Vijay Sethupathi: Some comments noted that the promo overly focused on Vijay Sethupathi, even including shots of him seated, which they felt added little to the episode’s anticipation. Some fans joked that the promo seemed more about showcasing his presence rather than giving hints of significant in-house events.
- Expectations of High Drama: A section of viewers expressed hope that the promo would feature Vijay Sethupathi addressing issues like groupism and body-shaming among contestants. Many were disappointed that such anticipated confrontations weren’t previewed.
- Comparisons to Previous Hosts: Some fans missed Kamal Hassan’s hosting style, reminiscing about how he handled promos and provided more engaging previews.
