Based on a statement made by actor Shaam in one of his recent interviews to a private YouTube Channel, users of Tamil twitter community divided into two as a group flooding the timeline with comments expressing their support to the actor whereas another group criticizing him for objectifying women.

Actor Shaam is playing a pivotal role in the upcoming film of actor Vijay which is titled as “Vaarisu”. It is notable that he shared screen space with Vijay for the first time in a movie named “Kushi”. In the film, he appeared as a junior artist. Through the interview, Shaam shared about how his relationship with Thalapathy Vijay has been growing by the time.

Shaam revealed that he used to call Vijay by his name during ” Kushi ” time and asked about the talks that were doing rounds at that time. “There are talks about you being the next Superstar” said Shaam to Vijay in the “Kushi” shooting spot to which he replied by pointing the sky, denoting that everything is God’s deed.

“After few days, I became a hero. He saw me at some place and asked me “Hey, who are you man?? You are making your entrance with two horses Jyothika and Simaran” and I replied back to him saying that it’s also the deed of the same God” Shaam said in the interview.

Further, Shaam heaped all praises on Vijay for his calm and composed attitude. “Now, I have started calling him as ” Anna”. He is silent in sets like a king of a jungle. His down to earth personality even after reaching so much height makes him what he really is” Shaam said on the interview and also added that he got an opportunity to play the role of an antagonist in Ajith’s “Thunivu”. However, he couldn’t do it due to the date issues.
