Aramm director Gopi Nainar clarifies on Pa Ranjith's tweet

Filmmaker Pa Ranjith recently wrote on Twitter, “Happy that Aramm has won. Teach and protest together. Thanks and congratulations to the director, film unit and thozhar Nayanthara."

#அறம் வென்றது பெரும் மகிழ்ச்சி...#கற்பிஒன்றுசேர்போராடு இயக்குனர்&படக்குழுவினர்க்கும் #தோழர்நயன்தாரா அவர்களுக்கு நன்றியும் வாழ்த்துகளும்

Netizens started trolling Ranjith for not having mentioned Gopi Nainar's name in the tweet. Also, he has been criticised for addressing heroine Nayanthara as ‘Thozhar’.

There have been allegations that Ranjith's Madras was lifted from Gopi's Karuppar Nagaram, however neither of them has commented on this.

Gopi, has now issued a statement, asking people "not to hurt anyone". The statement adds that Gopi and Ranjith share a friendly relationship, and they can make society better if they stand united. He had also asked his fans and supporters to not destroy that bond.
