Director Rathna kumar of “Meyaadha Maan” and “Aadai” fame is in the receiving end of online trolls after uploading a post about “AK- Arabic Kuthu”. He is known as an ardent fan of actor Vijay, previously made headlines for a number of social media posts he uploaded against actor Ajith kumar before venturing into Kollywood film industry. Now, after referring Vijay’s recently released “Arabic Kuthu” song as “AK”, a combintion of letters which is widely used to mention actor Ajith kumar, Rathna kumar became a subject to severe criticism.

The filmmaker who debuted through “Meyaadha Maan”, has also worked in “Master” as an additional screenplay writer and is working in Kamal Haasan’s upcoming film “Vikram” as one of the writers with director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Rathnakumar identifies himself as an ardent fan of actor Vijay and boasted about it in several public reviews.

On Tuesday, after “Beast” first single Arabic Kuthu garnered 25 million plus views in less than 24 hours, Rathnakumar replied to music director Anirudh Ravichander’s tweet, writing “AK ruling the charts 🔥🔥💥” as his caption.

The tweet didn’t go well among many of the fans of actor Ajith kumar who is considered as a rival of the “Beast” actor. In a recent press release, Ajith asked his fans, media and public to mention him as “AK” instead of using the tag name “Thala”. On seeing Rathnakumar using “AK” as a short form for “Arabic Kuthu”, many fans got offended which is evident through their replies.

“This is totally unwanted. Fella is a director of two movies, and was one of writers of #Master and #Vikram. Clown behaviour. Portrays Vijay in a bad way too” a twitter user said whereas another one wrote “Somebody who’s been associated with Vijay before, doing this is unacceptable. You’re also defaming Vijay’s image here”
