Actor Sivakarthikeyan recently sparked a debate with his remarks at the pre-release event of the Kollywood film Thaai Kizhavi. Sivakarthikeyan, who also produced the film, spoke about targeted hatred against him within the industry.
He said he is not competing with or attacking anyone. According to him, his only aim is to contribute meaningfully to cinema. He added that while many people support him, a few individuals stop him from doing what he wants.
The statement quickly went viral on social media. Many users began questioning his comments. They pointed out that stars like Vijay and Rajinikanth openly support him.
Critics also highlighted that Sivakarthikeyan regularly works with major production houses. These include RKFI, owned by Kamal Haasan, and Sun Pictures. Despite this backing, they questioned why he continues to claim he is being targeted.
Some social media users noted that Sivakarthikeyan mentions being targeted in most public speeches. They also pointed out that the DMK party is supporting him through the film Parasakthi. This led to accusations that he is seeking sympathy.
Several users advised the actor to stop repeating such statements at public events. They believe it could attract more negativity and online trolling. According to them, silence may work better than repeated complaints.
Despite the criticism, Sivakarthikeyan’s remarks continue to trend online. The debate remains active, with fans and critics sharing mixed reactions across social media platforms.
A genuine question without hate. Big actors like Vijay, Rajini, AK and Kamal supports you. You act under big banners like RFKI, Sun Pictures. You have your own production house. You are not targeted negatively by political parties. So who else should support you? https://t.co/C0pl23yOxR
