Ajith fans spoil birthday party for Thalapathy fans
The millennial kids, in their 20's, have been a sizeable chunk of fans for both the 'Ultimate Star' Ajith Kumar and 'Thalapathy' Vijay. With the proliferation of social media platforms, even kids in their early teens are posting memes and trolls in favour and against these two top notch heroes.
News from social media which is reflected in the Tamil press is that the online squabbles started on May 1, to coincide with Ajith's birthday this year. Vijay fans had come up with many hashtags targeting Ajith which was resented by the latter's fans.
With today being Vijay's 46th birthday, his fans came up with a hashtag # Happy Birthday Vijay which has had six lakh likes by now. However, Ajith's fans seem to be more tech savvy as their hashtag # NonpareilTHALA Ajith seems to have had a whopping 16 lakh likes. The competition is intense for sure
The present battle is akin to the one the earlier generations saw between Kamal-Rajini, MGR- Sivaji in Tamil Nadu which is among the most film-crazy states in India.
