Rajinikanth team clarifies on fan statement on Vijay. A recent incident has highlighted tensions between the fan bases of actors Rajinikanth and Vijay with a fan war erupting on X. According to Times Now Rajinikanth team has issued a statement condemning a fan who suggested egging Vijay during an X Spaces argument urging fans to maintain respect for one another.
The statement emphasizes that Rajinikanth does not condone or support any negative remarks directed towards fellow actors. A portion of the statement reads These remarks are entirely unacceptable and go against the principles true Rajinikanth fans uphold. The repeated sharing of such harmful content only fosters division and animosity. Media and social networks should take responsibility and refrain from perpetuating such incidents. The statement further asserts that cinema is meant to unite people not divide them and implores fans to treat each other with respect rather than hostility.
Reportedly the conflict was ignited after an individual claiming to be a Rajinikanth fan suggested egging Vijay and made a derogatory comment about him. This sparked backlash particularly as its not the first time the two fan clubs have clashed online. While Rajinikanth has consistently addressed Vijay with respect during public events their respective fan groups seem to hold different perspectives. The actors statement aims to de escalate the situation and promote calm between the fan groups but it remains to be seen whether the message will be heeded.
