How do Tamils accept Ajith as hero?: Kamaal R Khan's tweet unites angry Vijay-Ajith fans

The fight between Ajith fans and Vijay fans is like one between siblings, people said.

Kamaal R Khan may call himself an actor, producer and critic, but he's best known for his rather personal comments on celebrities.

This time, Khan has pulled off a miraculous feat: he has succeeded in uniting two warring factions, Ajith fans and Vijay fans. Anyone who is familiar with the battle lines of Kollywood cinema lovers will know that Ajith fans and Vijay fans have a go at each other at every opportunity.

It's routine for one group to tweet negative reviews when the film of the other star releases and call the actor by derogatory names.

However, Kamaal R Khan called Ajith a "Budhdhe actor" (old actor) and went on to say that people like him would be playing "father role" in Bollywood. He didn't stop with that. He also said that he didn't understand how Tamil people accept him as hero.

Ajith Ji, actually Budhdhe actor like u play father role in Bollywd but I don't know how do Tamil ppl accept u as hero. Congrts for #Vivegam pic.twitter.com/mz9GBINhqB

However, there were a few who did remind the fans about what the stars themselves have said in the recent past. Both Ajith and Vijay had separately issued statements that said they did not support abusive language used in their name.
