NEWPAR A disgruntled fan took to X, accusing Wayfarer Films of botching production. The post, now deleted, claimed that the team's missteps had turned a promise‑laden project into a disappointment.
NEWPAR Dulquer didn’t stay silent. He read the thread, acknowledged the fan’s points, and replied with a mix of humility and defense, saying that while the team had done their best, external factors had derailed the outcome.
