A famous Tamil YouTuber has shared his theory on Shankar’s decline. According to him, the trouble began during 2.0’s production, where Shankar’s nephew, Pappu, served as the production executive.

Allegedly, Pappu had a run-in with Rajinikanth that left a lasting impression. The YouTuber claims that one day, when Rajinikanth arrived late to the set due to unavoidable reasons, Pappu confronted him, saying, “Why sir, are you always late?”

This remark reportedly shocked the Superstar, who later expressed to his makeup artist that such disrespect was a first in his illustrious career.

Despite the incident, Rajinikanth pushed through and completed the shoot that day, even after falling and injuring his knee.

The YouTuber suggests that this episode marked the beginning of Shankar’s troubles, as the alleged mistreatment of Rajinikanth led to a string of bad luck.

He further links the failures of Indian 2 and Game Changer to karma and the “curse” of the producers who suffered losses.

While this theory borders on being more dramatic than logical, it reflects how perceptions of past actions often resurface to haunt even the biggest names in the industry.




Whether it’s karma or coincidence, Shankar’s current form has undoubtedly sparked a heated debate among fans and critics alike.
