In the whirlwind of social media reactions, misunderstandings, and passionate fan support, director Vignesh Shivan took to X to clarify his recent online activity, which stirred up a storm among Vijay fans. Vignesh Shivan found himself in hot water after he liked a post indirectly related to a misunderstanding between Vijay starrer 'Leo' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Apologizing for the confusion, Shivan explained, "Dear Vijay sir fans , Loki fans … sorry for the confusion  without even seeing the msg , the context or the content of the video or the tweet , by jus seeing Loki’s interview I liked the video ! cos am a big fan of his works and his interviews and the way he speaks !,"

"Am also eagerly awaiting for the grand release of Thalapathy vijay sir’s Leo .. by impulse , I jus liked seeing Loki bro’s image in the interview , like the same way I saw a shot of Nayan in a video clip where she had performed brilliantly and it was one of my fav shots so instantly liked that tweet also …. My bad !", he added.

"I didn’t even see the video inside or read the tweet involved in both the cases ! Should have been careful ! Sorry  So it’s a silly mistake from  my side ! And I express my apologies to all the good Thalapathy fans across the globe  waiting to see the blockbuster movie on 19th October with the same excitement as ya’ll ! So please stop wasting ur time in commenting more about this silly mistake and start celebrating LEO and all the good work that’s been put into it ! Godbless JaiHindh," he wrote.

The original post from the netizen reads, "#Thalaivar171 @Dir_Lokesh sir, We all know what happened between you and @actorvijay after #NaaReady song release and we clearly know why would you have to remove #Leo hashtag and to not to use #Vijay 's name in any of your promotions after that..."

Despite the online hiccups, the overwhelming excitement for 'Leo' continues to grow, with fans eagerly counting down the days until the grand release on October 19th.  The movie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, Trisha, Gautham Menon, Mansoor Ali Khan, Mysskin, and Priya Anand.
