In a report published in News18, Sivakarthikeyan stated, "Many people are saying that I am trying to attract his (Thalapathy Vijay's) fans. No one can do it like that, my friend. Fans mean actual power. When Vijay sir said he was going to 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 followed him.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 have managed to make a few people as my fans".
