Actor Vishnu Vishal <\/a>spoke in an interview about how superstar Rajinikanth <\/a>was forced to clarify his stance after Vijay <\/a>won the Tamil Nadu elections. While addressing a comment directed at him for \u2018crying\u2019 in interviews, the actor said that even Rajinikanth isn\u2019t immune to backlash on social media today.

\"VishnuVishnu Vishal recently spoke about how Rajinikanth had to clarify his stance on Vijay winning the elections.Vishnu Vishal on Rajinikanth and Vijay<\/strong><\/p>\n

During an interview with the YouTube channel Rednool for promoting his upcoming film Gatta Kusthi 2, Vishal was read a tweet bashing him that read: \u201cOf late, Vishnu comes for movie promotions. Cries in every interview. Claims he\u2019s still unrecognised. Praises his movies. Then the movie releases. Gets bashed by everyone. Repeat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor defended himself, stating that he has had only two setbacks recently with Lal Salaam (2024) and Aaryan <\/a>(2025). He said the former film with Rajinikanth wasn\u2019t what he had signed up for, while the latter was criticised only for its climax. He also pointed out that he was a producer on his brother Rudra\u2019s film, Oho Enthan Baby.<\/p>\n

Vishnu <\/a>then brought up Rajinikanth and said, \u201cToday, a situation has arisen in which Thalaivar has to say directly that I have nothing against Vijay. We are in such an era where Thalaivar is being accused of staying silent for four days and having to explain himself on the mic after the online storm. How can anyone say he’s jealous after everything he has achieved? It\u2019s very painful to see.\u201d The actor also stated that fan wars don’t mean the actors aren’t cordial, citing him and Suriya <\/a>as examples.<\/p>\n

He then slammed the person who tweeted about him and said, \u201cThe person who made that tweet doesn\u2019t know what my journey is. He has never lived a single day in my life. I didn\u2019t live his life either. I can\u2019t judge him, and he can\u2019t judge me. They like me on-screen; I am an actor. My life is open; they have made me; they have the right to bash me also. I am okay with that. But I don’t like this kind of talk. Such comments hurt me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rajinikanth-Vijay saga<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Vijay won the Tamil Nadu elections, Rajinikanth was accused of not being happy for the actor-politician and of supporting DMK. The actor held a press meet to clarify <\/a>he wasn\u2019t jealous of Vijay. \u201cRajini is not a cheap or low-standard person to speak unnecessarily about anything else. I was extremely shocked when I heard that Vijay had become the Chief Minister. As soon as the chief minister won, I congratulated him. I\u2019m not even in politics, so why would I be jealous of Vijay? Maybe if Kamal (Haasan) becomes the CM, I might get jealous. (smiles) There is a 25-year generation gap between Vijay and me. It won\u2019t look good if we compete,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

At the title launch of his upcoming film, Dharman<\/a>, with Ashwath Marimuthu and Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth addressed the trolling that followed his statement as well. \u201cThe moment someone says they are calling me to speak, I feel hesitant. Because whenever I speak, it becomes a problem, either for you or for me.\u201d He also pointed out that staying silent doesn\u2019t help either, adding, \u201cIf I stay quiet, they will make fun of me saying, why isn\u2019t he speaking? Has he kept a kozhukattai (a sweet delicacy) in his mouth?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Vishnu Vishal spoke in an interview about how superstar Rajinikanth was forced to clarify his stance after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":555282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[268],"tags":[434,18,117,237615,19,17,527,13287,237614],"class_list":["post-555281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-gatta-kushti-2","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-rajinikanth","tag-vijay","tag-vishnu-vishal"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116816672549248669","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=555281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/555282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=555281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=555281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=555281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
