Online trolls took no time in mocking popular producer Dil Raju after he made certain remarks on Sankranti big releases which include Ajith’s Thunivu and Vijay’s Varisu. The tug of war between Vijay’s fans and Ajith’s fans isn’t new and mutual mocking and trolls have always been there.
In a relief for fans, Udayanidhi Stalin, who is a distributor and producer for both the films, cleared all rumours and announced that both the films shall receive an equal number of screens. But, in a recent statement made by Dil Raju, who is a producer for Varisu, claiming that Vijay is a bigger star than Ajith and that Varisu must be allowed more screens, garnered much attention, and mockery from Social Media. Many Ajith fans took to twitter to show their discontent with this statement while many Vijay fans retaliated to this by supporting Dil Raju.
Varisu is being directed by Vamshi Paidipally and is to hit screens on January 12th. On the other hand, Thunivu directed by Vinodh.H is going to release on January 11th 2023, day before Varisu. The Pongal battle seems to be on.
