On January 25, videos of a man being physically beaten up outside a theatre went viral on social media. Local publications claim that the victim, a Thalapathy Vijay fan, waved the actor's party flag during the screening of Mankatha. This irked the supporters of Ajith, who resolved to violence.

In teh video, the mob could be seen attacking a single man together. A while later, the group even tears his shirt, leaving him half-naked. The clip is allegedly filmed at Pandian Cinemas in Karaikudi. The caption along the video claimed that the mob comprised of Ajith supporters, while the man beaten up was a fan of Vijay. However, the claims could not be independently verified.

The video has further triggered the fan wars between Thalapathy Vijay and Ajith. Fans of Vijay demand that strict action be taken against the men who resorted to violence and attacked the man. On the other hand, fans of Ajith are claiming that they have always been supportive of the re-release of Vijay movies such as Bigil and Ghilli, but the other group decided to barge in with TVK flags during the screening of Mankatha, prompting the action.
