Dhanush extended his support to Vijay's Thalaivaa through to his social networking site. "What happened to thalaiva is unfair.i wish dey show dis kinda effort in makin dis country a better place 2 live than just 2 ban a film. As long as a film is not based on a true story and has fictitious characters...honestly i don understand. I hope d matter will b resolved wid d concerned parties at d earliest. im sure our CM will do d needful," he tweeted.

Soon the actor clarified that his words are misinterpreted by few leading dailies. "My tweet regd thalaiva has been incompletely carried on a news daily today.i wish 2 b clear dat I was nt referring 2 our GOVT in nyway. My concern was nd is only as a film fraternity member and nothing more.i wish to be not misunderstood or misquoted by anybody," he posted.
