Lokesh Kanagraj reacts to Ajith Kumar's fan's death: 'Don't risk life for celebration'

'Master' filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj recently reacted to the death of actor Ajith Kumar's fan, who died while celebrating the release of the star's new film 'Thunivu'.

During a media interaction, the filmmaker said, “It would be good if fans realize their responsibilities and act accordingly. This is just cinema and there’s no need to lose your life for it. It is only for entertainment and they should watch films happily and go back home responsibly. I believe one needn’t risk life for the sake of celebrations.”

Tamil actors Thalapathy Vijay and Ajith Kumar movies clashed at the box office with the release of 'Varisu' and 'Thuvinu' on January 11. While celebrating Thuvinu's release, an Ajith admirer passed away.
