Vishnu Vishal and RJ Balaji indulge in a nasty Twitter war over the latter's film 'LKG' getting special 5 AM showsFeb 19 (AZINS) RJ Balaji and Priya Anand's forthcoming political satire 'LKG', which is set to release worldwide on February 22, has managed to get 5 am shows in certain theatres in Chennai.

The early morning shows have always held a special significance down south as they are usually allocated to only the films of top heroes like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Ajith, Vijay, Dhanush and Nayanthara.

Condemning the allocation, Tamil actor and producer Vishnu Vishal put out a sly tweet saying, "5 AM shows lost its value. It has become a gimmick now (sic)"

RJ Balaji retaliated saying that on cross-checking with the theatre owner he has found that the allocation has been done based on the hype around the film and not anyone's recommendation.

Sharing a Whatsapp conversation, he wrote, "Even I thought this 5am show for LKG is a gimmick, apuram theatre owner kitta direct ah kettu confirm pannikittane... We didn't get a recommendation seat but a MERIT seat! Now put this to rest and rest well. #RespectOthersWorkYoullGetUrs (sic)"

Vishnu Vishal then launched another nasty attack on Balaji saying, "First learn to respect ppl around u..i dunno if u rembr wat u did before doin movies n how much u respctd actors bak then:) learn to giv credit to evryones hard work n, not just urs..im gettin my due..im happy im not using people's sentiments time n again to get success:)#rspctall (sic)"

"When u knw to criticise whole heartedly irrespecitve of the hardwork others hav put in and irrrspcrive of knwin wat d truth is, learn to accept criticism whole heartedly as well…its not just u whoz workin hard..infact ur route to fame is ‘personal criticism route’"

"Guys i just wantd to show u all the reaction…thats all..n its clear n evident to all..:) been wanting to show d true side for a long time now:) ‘unukku vandha raththam,yenuku vandha thakkali chutney aa??’ my twitr frnds who knw me knw i wont talk unnecessarily #restupall"

"Im really happy for all small to medium budget movies gettin mornin 5am shows…really great for cinema..but am not happy abt certain people misusing n misguiding public all the time in the name of constructive criticismgood day all."

The tweets went viral in no time. A few fans pointed out that it is not healthy for two stars to fight on social media.

RJ Balaji then decided to give Vishnu Vishal a call to put an end to this Twitter war. He wrote, "Spoke to Vishu Vishal. What happened in the morning was impulsive from both sides. We sorted out the difference of opinion. I wish him nothing but the best. #Peaceout (sic)"

Both the parties have deleted all the older tweets, now.
