Talking at the Madharaasi event, Sivakarthikeyan emphasized that fans cannot be persuaded into following someone else. The actor noted that loyal fans are earned only through years of hard work.

The actor-producer said, “Many people are saying that I am trying to steal his (Thalapathy Vijay) fans. No one can steal followers like that, my friend. Fans are actually a power. When Vijay sir said he’s gonna do his last film and enter politics, each of his fans followed him.”

“Even when Ajith sir dissolved his fan clubs years ago, fans didn’t bat an eye and still follow him. On the other hand, Kamal sir, an artist unlike any other in India, his fans still stand with him because he is a true artist. Also, Rajini sir, he has been a superstar for 50 years because of his fans,” SK added.

The Amaran actor added that just like them, stars like Suriya, Vikram, Simbu, and Dhanush enjoy their own dedicated fanbases.

Concluding his speech, Sivakarthikeyan said, “No one can take away others’ fans. We have to earn fans through our own hard work. Within my strength, as an actor for 13 years, I managed to attract a few people as my fans.”
