Director Atlee and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan were spotted sitting next to each other at the latest match of Chennai Super Kings, where it took on SRK’s Kolkata Knight Riders at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk. CSK emerged victorious. More than the victory of the team, K-Town is now all about the meeting of Shah Rukh Khan and Atlee.

Earlier, it was rumoured that Atlee is trying to rope in SRK for a cameo in his upcoming film with actor Vijay. Tentatively titled Thalapathy 63, the film is based on the game of football. Other speculations predict that the film is Hindi remake of Tamil blockbuster Mersal.

Now, the recent meet of Atlee and Shah Rukh Khan has resulted in various speculations. Some predict that the Tamil director is trying to rope in SRK for a Bollywood film and some say that it was for Thalapathy 63. But the general notion is that ‘something is cooking.’

People expressed their disgust on the racist mark and slammed the trolls. Check out some of them here :

Seeing lot of trolls against @Atlee_dir by comparing color. This is totally disgusting. I have read only in newspaper about racism but for the very first time i am seeing it. I thought all my fellow people in TN are well educated more importantly kind hearted.

It’s such a shame to see people troll Atlee Kumar for his skin complexion especially compared to Shah Rukh Khan in the last evening’s match. Look at your face on the mirror first before you create such shitty memes…it would be as shitty as your memes and trolls…

Myself being mostly dark, I feel bad for the trolls that #Atlee has to go through when he makes public appearances. #Priya should be proud that her hubby has reached a height that to sit besides #SRK is no less feat. pic.twitter.com/aDsAIm8OJ2

Stop body shaming and racism. Criticise their work not their appearance. Recent Atlee trolls are disgusting

அட்லி மீதான நிறவெறி தாக்குதல் இந்த சமூகம் முன்னோக்கி செல்ல வேண்டிய தூரம் நாம் எதிர்பார்ப்பதை விட மிக அதிகம் என உணர்த்துகிறது.
