Fans Of Ajith, Vijay Upset As Their Film Release Clashes
A huge ruckus erupted outside a movie theatre in Tamil Nadu’s Koyambedu as excited fans of Tollywood actors Ajith Kumar and Thalapathy Vijay came to blows at Chennai’s popular Rohini Theatre post midnight on Wednesday.
The fans of the two superstars of the South had gathered in large numbers to watch Ajith Kumar’s ‘Thunivu’ and Vijay’s ‘Varisu’ and both were released on the same day after eight years.
Amid the ruckus, the fans tore off and shredded the movie posters of the two superstars. Vijay’s fans tore the movie posters of Ajith’s ‘Thunivu’ while the fans of the latter ripped the ‘Varisu’ posters.
A video from outside the movie theatre went viral showing the two sets of fans damaging hoardings at several locations. The police said it even resorted to a mild baton charge to remove the feuding fans.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, Bharath Kumar, an Ajith fan, succumbed to injuries after he jumped from a slow-moving lorry in a moment of excitement around the release of ‘Thunivu’, on Poonamallee highways near the Rohini theatre, the police informed.
