A fan pointed out a continuity error in Venkat Prabhu’s ‘Saroja,’ where a clock showed noon during a night-time scene. The director humorously acknowledged the goof, even offering a ‘gold coin’ if it had been spotted earlier. This lighthearted exchange sparked a viral online discussion, with fans sharing memes and reminiscing about the 2008 film.

A social media user recently rewatched Venkat Prabhu’s 2008 comedy thriller ‘Saroja‘ and noticed a small but funny mistake. In one scene, a clock on screen showed 12 noon, even though the entire story is supposed to happen during a single night.The fan shared this on X in Tamil, writing, “The whole story happens at night, yet the clock on screen says 12 noon.” The post quickly caught the attention of other fans who love spotting such small quirks in films.

Venkat Prabhu’s humorous reply

Venkat Prabhu didn’t ignore the post. Instead, he joined the fun with his sense of humor. He replied with a GIF of veteran comedian Senthil giving an embarrassed grin, clearly showing he could laugh at himself. The director then said, “Bro actually release ana bothey kandupidichirundha.. oru gold coin kuduthurukalaam.. cha 18 years kazhichi ngradhala.” The original fan influx recruitment brilliantly boosted the talk by posting a GIF of Goundamani scolding Senthil. A humorous talk like this engaged an already established fan base and proved that anything can be a topic for a joke, even if it’s a minute detail.

Netizens join the fun and remember ‘Saroja’

The post went viral on the internet, with people cracking jokes, posting funny comments, and memes. One fan jokingly said, “Oscar poche thala,” teasing that the director had missed an Academy Award because of the minor slip. Many fans also remembered ‘Saroja,’ which was released in 2008 as a comedy thriller. The film starred an ensemble cast including Shiva, Vaibhav, Premji, S P Charan, Sampath, Nikitha Thukral, and Bose Venkat. Its chartbuster soundtrack by Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematography by Sakthi Saravanan helped make it a major hit. Fans appreciated Venkat Prabhu’s ability to take the trolling in stride, showing why his films and online presence remain so loved.
