While most of the audience just lashed out at such content, a few felt that the storyline seemed a bit similar to a 2006 French movie, Prete-Moi Ta Main. This was because, in the released teaser, Nagarjuna was seen as a 50-year-old unmarried man with his family trying hard to get him a wife at that age, which looked similar to the French movie in which a 40-year-old bachelor's family gets worried about his bachelor status and sets up blind dates for him.
In that French movie, as his family does such, the 40-year-old eventually hires a lady to pretend as his fiancee which gets him in more trouble. Now after watching the teaser audience are expecting the same story in Manmadhudu-2. However, its director Rahul Ravindran has not yet made any comments regarding this opinion of the audience.
