Speaking to the press yesterday, Rajinikanth blamed "anti-social elements" for the recent mayhem in Tuticorin, which resulted in the death of about a dozen anti-Sterlite protestors. "The entire problem started after anti-social elements attacked police and burned down Collector's office, as a result of which peaceful protesters were killed. If you undertake protest for each and everything, Tamil Nadu will be turned into a cemetery," the 'Kaala' star said.

Hours later, Siddharth took to Twitter to say this: "Next they will tell us anti-social elements polluted Thoothukudi all these years."

This has come to be seen by many on social media as an indirect way of questioning Rajinikanth and going against his views. At the time of writing this news, Sid is silent on the perception of many.
