Earlier today, In remembrance of the late superstar Thiyagaraja Bhagavathar, Parthiban shared his picture and mentioned him as 'the first superstar' who got backlash from superstar Rajinikanth fans. He then posted a screenshot of a google search "First superstar of Tamil cinema" in which the results show the name M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar. In the tweet, R Parthiban recalled his experience of traveling in a car with Superstar Rajinikanth and shared the delightful memory as a poem. He wrote that he composed this poem when he was dropped off from the car by Rajinikanth. The poem can be roughly translated as, "Anyone would look like a dot when they move away, but you still look larger than life." He further goes on to explain, "The bond we share is truly remarkable. On the anniversary of someone's passing, I only intended to honor their memory. However, some individuals are using derogatory language and creating a sense of contradiction between him and his fans, which is concerning. Instead, we should emulate the superstar's humble nature, which never causes harm even to his enemies."
