Sivakarthikeyan, a well-known actor and producer in Tamil cinema, recently made headlines at the trailer launch event for his upcoming production, Kottukkaali, starring Soori and Anna Ben. The film, directed by PS Vinothraj, is set to hit theatres on August 23rd.

However, it was Sivakarthikeyan's remarks at the event that sparked controversy and ignited a heated debate on social media. During his speech, Sivakarthikeyan addressed his role as a producer, saying, "I wouldn’t claim that I’ve shaped someone’s career or given them a break. People always told that about my success, but I won't say it. I simply see it as introducing talented friends to the audience."

These comments quickly went viral, with many netizens interpreting them as a subtle jab at actor Dhanush, who produced several of Sivakarthikeyan's early films. The remarks have led to a flurry of online speculation, with fans of both actors clashing on social media platforms. Neither Sivakarthikeyan nor Dhanush has publicly responded to the situation.
