Thala Ajith Kumar's highly anticipated Vivegam has opened to phenomenal response from the audience. Despite mixed reviews, the film has set the box-office records on fire. While fans were going gaga over Vivegam on Friday, self-proclaimed film critic Kaamal R Khan insulted Ajith Kumar on Twitter and called him a 'Budhe actor' (Old Actor).

KRK wrote, "Ajith Ji, actually Budhdhe actor like u play father role in Bollywd but I don't know how do Tamil ppl accept u as hero. Congrts for #Vivegam."

Kaamal R Khan's insensitive remark irked not just Ajith fans, but his contemporary Vijay's fans as well. Since then, KRK has been relentlessly trolled by both Ajith and Vijay fans with over 3000 replies to his tweet.

This comes after Ajith Kumar's legal team recently issued a statement against social media abuse. The Billa actor even apologised for any inconvenience caused and said that he disowned his fan clubs long back. Earlier to this, Kaamal R Khan took potshots at Mollywood megastar Mohanlal for casting him as Bheem in the Rs 1000cr Mahabharath.

Meanwhile, Vivegam is running to packed houses in Tamil Nadu. As per initial trade reports, the film is said to have grossed Rs 30 crore at the domestic market and is expected to beat superstar Rajinikanth's Kabali.

Made on a whopping budget of Rs 100 crore, the distribution and satellite rights have been bagged for a record price. The theatre owners are expecting high returns at the box office.
