It is common knowledge in the cinema industry that Thala Ajith and Thalapathy Vijay the two heroes with the biggest fan followings may be rivals on-screen but are close family friends off it. Not comprehending this hardcore fans of both Thala and Thalapathy use social media platforms to belittle the star they don't like and also their fans and vice versa. The sad thing is that they continue to indulge in online fan battles even at these tough times of coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns.

Veteran actor Vivek is a close friend of both Thala Ajith and Thalapathy Vijay having shared screen space with both in numerous films including 'Kaadhal Mannan', 'Mugavari', 'Kreedam', 'Vaali', 'Yennai Arindhaal', 'Khushi', 'Thirumalai', 'Youth', 'Kuruvi' and 'Bigil'. The loyal Abdul Khalam follower who is involved in many social service activities including planting trees has sent out a humble request to warring Thala-Thalapathy fans who fight against each other on Twitter and tagging him.

Vivek has written in Tamil " I do not like any negative posts regarding my friends Vijay and Ajith or any other actor or individual. I request you to not tag me in such posts and messages and if you do so again you will be blocked. I use Twitter for spreading positivity. Stay home Stay Safe".

நண்பர்கள் அஜீத், விஜய் அல்லது எந்த நடிகரையும், தனி நபரையும் தரம் தாழ்ந்து செய்யும் எதிர்மறை பதிவுகளை நான் விரும்புவதில்லை. என்னை tag செய்ய வேண்டாம் என்று கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறேன்.மீறிச் செய்தால் block ஆகும்.நேர்மறை பதிவுகளுக்கே நான் டுவிட்டரைப் பயன்படுத்துகிறேன். Stay home stay safe!
