South Indian actor Sundeep Kishan, who is best known for his role in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Maanagaram, has responded to a user on Twitter who addressed him as a 'hater' of Kollywood star Vijay.

The user attempted to troll Sundeep by pointing out that he had once criticized Vijay himself but has acknowledged him as one of his favourite actors today. In response to the tweet, Sundeep said that he was not ashamed of his past remarks and that in the last 10 years, Vijay's journey had inspired him and turned him into a huge fan of the star. Sundeep's tweet read, "There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of in this…I grew up loving Vijay sirs films and in-between I lost out as a regular film audience..but today I will proudly say Over the last 10 years that his journey has inspired me immensely & today I am a huge fan…"

The actor added, "This is not something I need to prove to anybody…but Felt I should take a second to reregister my words .. Save this tweet and ask me whenever later & I shall always stand by it. I Love Vijay sir and he has inspired me in some really tough times." Sundeep is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming Telugu film 'Gully Rowdy,' also starting Neha Shetty.
