Kamal Haasan had earlier tweeted against the state and central governments on their decision to appoint Mr. Surappa as the vice chancellor of Anna university.  His dig was " We asked for water from Karnataka and we get a vice-chancellor from Karnataka instead. The gulf between people and the government cannot be more obvious. Are they taunting us so we react adversely? I wonder what their game plan is"

When reactions started pouring that Kamal is against the people of Karnataka and his dear friend Rajinikanth, the Ulaganayagan reacted quickly with another tweet " Mr.Nagesh One of my Gurus. Mrs. S Mr. Rajkumar anna Mrs. Sarojadevi and my friends Mr. Rajnikanth and Mr. Ambresh are my own.That was a humorous quip at the central and state governments Not a swipe at the Chancellor . Nevertheless TN needs water."
