Tran Thanh speaks out about the cast of "Tho Oi!", responding sharply to the controversy.

The cast of amateur actors BB Tran, Cris Phan, Gil Le, and LyLy in Tran Thanh's Lunar New Year film "Tho Oi!" (Hey Rabbit!) has caused a stir among viewers, sparking heated debates about their acting since the first teaser.

As soon as the poster and first teaser were revealed, Tran Thanh's Lunar New Year film "Tho Oi!" (Oh, Little Rabbit!) sparked lively discussions on social media. Not only did it attract attention with its characteristic dramatic atmosphere, but the project also surprised audiences with its unique cast, including many non-professional artists such as BB Tran, Cris Phan, Gil Le, and especially singer LyLy in the lead female role.

This combination quickly divided public opinion into two camps. One segment of the audience was enthusiastic, expressing confidence in Tran Thanh's ability to "transform" the cast: from amateur actors, he could create vivid, emotional, and memorable characters on screen. Conversely, some viewers expressed concern that most of the main actors lacked professional acting experience. One prominent comment under Tran Thanh's post even remarked that this cast might make "Tho Oi!" feel more like a web drama than a real feature film.

In response to those concerns, Tran Thanh directly replied to the comment: "Let's see first, don't worry. It'll be released in theaters on the 1st of the month." The male artist's answer quickly received hundreds of interactions, showing the strong appeal of "Tho Oi!" right from the promotional stage.

According to Tran Thanh, "Tho Oi!" (Oh, Little Rabbit!) is a Lunar New Year film in the drama-psychological genre, promising a completely new feel compared to his previous works. The scenes in the teaser, over a minute long, showcase a fast-paced editing style, combined with sound effects to create tension, keeping viewers glued to the screen. The appearance of LyLy – taking on a lead female role for the first time – further increases curiosity about her acting abilities. Meanwhile, BB Tran, Cris Phan, and Gil Le are expected to bring youthful, charming, and relatable elements to Gen Z audiences.

Despite ongoing debates, it's undeniable that "Rabbit, Oh!" is generating significant attention ahead of its release. Following the box office success of films like "The Godfather" and "Mai...", every move by Tran Thanh becomes a focal point of attention. Audiences are both hoping he will continue to make a new mark and eagerly awaiting to see whether the casting of many amateur actors this time will bring surprises or lead to controversy.

The film is scheduled to premiere on the first day of the Lunar New Year, just like Tran Thanh's previous film projects. This has gradually become a habit for audiences: every Tet holiday, they eagerly await the new story that Tran Thanh will bring to the big screen. With the current heated debates, "Tho Oi!" (Oh, Little Rabbit!) is almost certain to be one of the most talked-about films at the beginning of 2026.

Overall, despite some mixed opinions about the amateur cast, the project is still generating strong media buzz. The teaser and poster are just the beginning, but they've already piqued public curiosity and sparked discussion. With his ability to engage audiences with emotionally rich stories, Tran Thanh continues to demonstrate his irresistible appeal in the upcoming Lunar New Year film season. "Tho Oi!"
