Vaishnavi Chaitanya and Anand Deverakonda became a sensational on-screen pair with Baby, which went on to become a major blockbuster and struck a strong chord with younger audiences. Now, the actors are coming together once again for Epic, naturally creating expectations about whether they can deliver another memorable outing.
However, the initial promotional campaign for Epic has not created the level of buzz that many expected. The film’s promotional material, including its trailer and songs, is yet to make a significant impact among moviegoers. As a result, the overall anticipation surrounding the project currently appears to be relatively modest.
Despite the limited promotional buzz, the film has a notable strength in the form of director Aditya Haasan. The filmmaker impressed viewers with the web series #90s, earning appreciation for his ability to present realistic characters, relatable situations and emotionally grounded storytelling.
This makes Epic an interesting project to watch, particularly because the film brings together a proven lead pair with a director who has already demonstrated his storytelling abilities. While the chemistry between Vaishnavi Chaitanya and Anand Deverakonda was one of the biggest highlights of Baby, repeating that impact will be a different challenge this time.
The real question is whether Aditya Haasan can provide the actors with a fresh story and recreate the emotional connect that made Baby such a talking point. If the content manages to strike the right chord, the film could potentially gain momentum despite its relatively quiet promotional phase.
For now, the expectations remain cautiously optimistic. The audience response after release will ultimately determine whether Vaishnavi Chaitanya and Anand Deverakonda can once again create magic together with Epic.
