Mixed Reactions From Fans Online
The title release generated significant attention across social media, though reactions from fans were mixed. One excited fan commented, “This is our Home production. We need to make sure it breaks all box office records”.
However, some followers felt the first look poster lacked punch. A fan stated, “Good title but worst poster update. Could have been far better to update with an appealing poster”. Another supporter expressed frustration regarding the film crew, noting, “No changes in the technical team except anirudh disappointed. Atleast you would have changed that editor.”

Ajith Kumar has been actively focussing on his racing team, Ajith Kumar Racing, which he founded in 2024. He is also set to feature in a upcoming motorsport documentary titled Gladiators.
Speaking about Ajith's long gap between film commitments, distributor Tiruppur Subramaniam recently commented: “Ajith Kumar wants the salary he demands, but who is there in the industry to offer it? There’s almost no one, and we can’t do anything about it.”
He added, “He wants a fixed salary from the production; if not, he is already well-settled and interested in racing. He is earning well even through advertising, but he should consider serving the cinema and making films on a profit-sharing basis with production companies he likes.”
With Shalini now taking charge of production, fans are eagerly waiting to see how Dare Devil performs upon release.
