Vijay fan attacked for waving TVK flag

However, the re-release party turned into a stampede when a film from Karaikudi surfaced showing Ajith fans beating up a Vijay fan. From the film, the fan carried a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) flag and distinctly uttered pro-Vijay slogans inside the premises of the theatre. Harming his efforts, Ajith fans supposedly chased and warned the fan to calm down. Not minding their predecessor, Aithus fans allegedly wound up "slapping" him, tearing away his shirt, before tossing the fan out of the function amidst cheers on the premises.
