It's a known fact how the box-office war happens between Ajith and Vijay. There are some speculations that their professional rivalry has gone to the extent of personal differences as well.
The fans of both these actors argue that, after Rajinikanth, the position belongs to their respective actor. The rivalry is worse than that between any two Telugu heroes' fans.
Now, the announcement of the 'Padma' award has added fuel to this rivalry.
It is known that Vijay is involved in politics now, and the ruling DMK does not seem to welcome his political entry.
So, there are talks that to downsize Vijay's popularity, the government made Ajith the recipient of the Padma Bhushan award. This award rivalry is not new in Kollywood.
Earlier, when MGR and Kamal Haasan started parties in two different timelines, the Dadasaheb Phalke awards were given to Sivaji Ganesan and Rajinikanth, respectively. Now, Ajith's case seems to follow that trend.
Coming to the Ajith-Vijay feud, there was no response from Ajith’s side when Vijay started his party. When Ajith won a race in Dubai, the entire Kollywood lauded him, but Vijay remained silent. Even now, after Ajith winning the Padma Bhushan, Vijay has kept silent.
This is the fan war that is taking an ugly route on social media in Tamil Nadu.
