Following the furor on the internet about a women journalist, who compared Thalapathi Vijay’s old movie with
Shah Rukh Khan
starrer, Jab Harry Met Sejal, ‘Vijay’ released a statement. Vijay stated, “I respect the women. All of us have the right to speech. Anyone can criticize any movie. My opinion is that none should degrade the women at any cost. Everyone should praise the womanhood. I request the people not to hurt anyone by your post on the internet and also not to spread the wrong opinion about women.” Vijay touched everyone with his press statement. Some north Indian media wanted Vijay to apologize for the undone mistake. But, Vijay’s press statement might be a whip shot for them.
