Even as ex-serviceman K Dhandapani seeks criminal action against actor Vijayakanth for using the term ���Captain��� despite not serving in the Indian Army, RK Selvamani, who directed Captain Prabhakaran with Vijayakanth, has voiced his support to the actor. Says the filmmaker, ���There���s nothing wrong in referring to Vijayakanth as ���captain���. We anyway refer to the leader of any sports team as captain; so, it is a very common word.
He (Vijayakanth) has been fondly called captain since the release of the film (
Captain Prabhakaran). This was much before he entered politics. Also, he has never called himself using that title. It���s his fans and the general public who call him that. So, he cannot be held responsible.���
