Lokesh Kanagaraj, Gautham Vasudev Menon's banter over Kamal Haasan fandom takes social media by storm

Actor Kamal Haasan has a wide and diverse fan base that includes people from all generations. Filmmakers Lokesh Kanagaraj and Gautham Vasudev Menon are two well-known fans of Kamal. Recently the duo engaged in a friendly argument about who is the bigger admirer of the veteran actor 

The 2006 film Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, has been re-released in theatres and has become a remarkable success at the Tamil Nadu box office. Referring to the re-release's success, on Sunday, a Twitter user argued that Gautham would be the winner if a fan-boy battle happened between Gautham and Lokesh. In response to the tweet, Lokesh said," No need of a doubt, it is GVM".

However, Gautham responded to Lokesh's comment as he used to be the biggest fan until Lokesh's arrived with Vikram, "Was' Until you and Nayagan Meendum Varaan came, Vikram. I have to try and rise above that. Will be a good challenge. Aana Intha sandaiyila satta kizhiyaadhu. Only Love"  

‘Was’
Until you and ‘Nayagan meendum varaan’ came. #Vikram
I have to try and rise above that.
Will be a good challenge @Dir_lokesh
Aana Intha sandaiyila satta kizhiyaadhu…
Only Love https://t.co/sVBB3IPQpI
