MUMBAI: While there are many actors who are lauded for their performance and there are fans who cannot have enough of them, there is a certain section who tend to go overboard when it comes to showing hatred or love.

One such incident happened outside a cinema hall screening actor Ajith Kumar-starrer Valimai in Coimbatore early on Thursday.
The incident occurred at around 4.30 am, when Naveen Kumar was erecting a flex board of the star in front of the theatre complex in Gandhipuram area of the city. A motorcycle-borne gang hurled a petrol bomb at a crowd gathered before fleeing, police said.
Naveen sustained minor injuries in the explosion, which caused tense moments in the area, they said. Police suspect rivalry between fans of the actor over erecting banners as motive behind the crime. Security has been beefed up in front of other theatres in the city following the incident. Investigation is underway, they added.
Valimai, directed by H Vinoth and also featuring Bollywood actor Huma Qureshi, among others released worldwide on Thursday. The film saw several delays in its release due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation.
For the uninitiated, the Hindustan Times review of the film reads, “If you look at Valimai purely from the action standpoint, you’re in for a treat as some of the action stretches really standout. But if you evaluate the film beyond the action sequences, there’s hardly anything that keeps you invested, despite an earnest performance from Ajith. In essence, it’s a film where the action supersedes the largely predictable story. When it comes to the supporting cast, Huma Qureshi shines in a role in which she gets to do some action as well. Karthikeya as the antagonist is an interesting choice but his is a character that isn’t well fleshed out. Ajith is earnest in his performance as ACP Arjun, and it’s good to see him do some hardcore stunts involving bikes and cars.”
