Netizens hail Sree Vishnu in Swag

Many netizens took to social media to praise Sree Vishnu for convincingly portraying multiple characters and looks in the film. Comparing him to Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan, one user wrote, "Sree Vishnu nailed it with #SWAG. The Telugu film industry seriously missed recognizing this talent. He outshined even Kamal Haasan in Dasavatharam."

Several viewers expressed regret for not watching the film in theatres and applauded the filmmakers for crafting an exceptionally well-made movie with all the elements of a complete commercial drama. Another user commented, "This movie deserves pan-India recognition. Sree Vishnu is truly the Kamal Haasan of TFI; the variations in his getups, voice modulations, and emotions were outstanding. TFI is blessed to have this gem of an actor."

Sreevishnu, just saw Swag movie, I think you are one of the best actors in India, I compare you with the legendary Kamal Hassan sir, different characters, different shades, many can't recognise that all the characters are played by a single person, you just need a great project.

Audiences were impressed by Sree Vishnu’s performance and hopes to see him take on more such remarkable roles. Praising his unique script selections, one user wrote, "Just watched Swag, Sree Vishnu. I think you are one of the best actors in India, comparable to the legendary Kamal Haasan. You brought different characters and shades to life, making it hard to believe they were all played by the same person. You just need the right project."
