Videos of Ajith Kumar fans creating a ruckus at theatres across Chennai have surfaced on social media.

Ajith Kumar fans create a ruckus

One video that was widely circulated on X (formerly Twitter) shows fans recording as a key scene plays on screen and some people set off firecrackers inside the theatre, ignoring the fact that it’s a fire hazard. “Ani (Anirudh Ravichander) on duty. Theatre on fire,” reads the caption on the video.

Some other videos show the police struggling to control the crowd, which refused to listen to them. One video shows a cop holding a fan’s tee-shirt as others crowd around him and argue till he leaves him. One man can be seen placating the police and fans at the crowded theatre.

Another video shows the police asking a fan to calm down even as he won’t stop screaming Ajith’s name. The policeman trying to control the crowd briefly cracks a smile at their antics before asking them to behave.

Fans turn screening into concert

Some videos, however, are more wholesome than that, with fans dancing to the song Sawadeeka from the film inside theatres. One theatre in Chennai posted a video of how the audience started dancing as soon as the song played on screen.

One more video shows fans throwing confetti, whipping their shirts off and dancing to the number featuring Ajith and Trisha.

Another shows fans lining up near the screen, facing the audience and dancing their hearts out to Sawadeeka as everyone else cheers for them.
