A statement has been released from Rajinikanth's side condemning Vijay's defamation talk. Recently, an audio discussion on Twitter Spaces, where Rajini fans spoke negatively about Vijay, went viral. It included comments like throwing eggs at Vijay, which sparked controversy and online clashes between Rajini and Vijay fans.

Following this incident, Rajini's team issued a statement saying, "A person claiming to be a fan of Rajinikanth made derogatory statements about Vijay, which is highly condemnable and unacceptable. True Rajini fans will not engage in such activities. Media and social networks should refrain from repeatedly broadcasting or sharing such negative incidents, as they only create unnecessary hatred and divisions."

The statement further urged, "All fans should uphold respect and mutual dignity. Cinema should unite people, not divide them. No fan should spread hatred against any actor or fellow human in the name of fandom. As followers of Rajinikanth, we do not and should not indulge in such behavior. Let us celebrate our favorite stars with love and positivity. Fan culture should be defined by respect and pride, not hatred."
