Feeling Uncomfortable with Fan Slogans, Superstar Pens Open Letter

Very recently, Kamal Haasan sent a press note stating that he should just be addressed as Kamal Haasan and not with any prefixes like Ulaganayagan. Now, Ajith also made a similar request. Already, he asked the fans and media to just call him Ajith. Now, he asked everyone to not attach Kadavuley tag to his name.

In a official statement that he released to the media, Ajith wrote, “Of late, a certain factor has been disturbing me and in particular slogan, K….’, ‘Ajithey’ has been publicly recited on various events and public gatherings. I am uncomfortable with superlatives or any kind of prefix mentioned alongside my name. I prefer being addressed by my name or my initials.”

Ajith also added, “I take this opportunity to request all those who indulge in this slogan shouting practise in public places to stop this with immediate effect & restrain themselves from doing so ever again. My sincere request to everyone is to work hard, play hard without hurting anyone, look after your respective families & be law abiding citizens. Live and let live.”

It all started recently when the slogan started trending after an interview which had the same chant went viral. Many people in Tamilnadu picked it up and started to address Ajith with the tag. Kadavule actually means God and Ajith dislikes to be compared to God.

On the work front, Ajith’s next two films are Vidaamuyarchi and Good Bad Ugly.
