As we all know, Vijay Antony is a composer turned leading actor in Tamil cinema. While Malayalam films are dominating the Tamil Nadu box office this year, his new rom-com 'Romeo' was released on April 11th. Though this film had a decent opening gross, Malayalam movies continue to affect the collection of Tamil films.

Vijay Antony has decided to take a dig at critics and Malayalam cinema fans over his film, 'Romeo'. He posted a statement on X (Twitter) targeting a famous YouTube critic and his followers. This has caused a stir among the fans. He also insisted the fans visit 'Romeo' in theatres. This is now doing rounds on social media. A rough translation of his statement:

"For some people like Mr Blue Sattai Maaran who wrongly criticizes many good films,

My deepest sympathies to the intellectuals who believe everything they say to be true and criticize Tamil cinema without celebrating many good films like Romeo.

My dear people, Romeo is a good movie. Go, watch it and you will understand.

Don't make Romeo another Anbe Sivam"
