Actor Sivakarthikeyan, who is producing the upcoming film Kottukkaali, recently attended the trailer launch event of the film held in Chennai. While speaking at the event, the actor talked about introducing new talents, which has courted controversy on social media, with many linking Sivakarthikeyan’s speech to Dhanush.

Did Sivakarthikeyan take a dig at Dhanush?

Sivakarthikeyan attended the trailer launch event of Kottukkaali which was held in Chennai on Tuesday. Speaking at the event, he said, “I will not tell that I found somebody and I have given them an identity or that I have given them life and readied them. Because I have been said and conditioned that way. I am not that type of person and this is my small contribution of introducing someone, just like you introduce a friend. From the position you have given me as an actor, I want to use it correctly. My efforts will continue.”

Even though Sivakarthikeyan did not mention or take anyone’s name, many netizens on social media have been equating this statement of Sivakarthikeyan with Dhanush. It is to be noted that Sivakarthikeyan who had a television background of hosting shows, was seen in a supporting role in Dhanush-starrer Moonu. The latter also produced Sivakarthikeyan’s Ethir Neechal which was one of the actor’s earlier films to play the lead and proved to be successful.

Here are some of the reactions
