However both the young stars have resisted being compared or identified as rivals. They have never shied away from admiring each other in public domain. In a recent interview to Indiaglitz, Sivakarthikeyan named Vijay Sethupathi as his favorite among the current generation heroes though he liked all of them.
Now Vijay Sethupathi has also confirmed to us that Sivakarthikeyan is not a rival to him.
"Yes definitely I wish to express that there is no rivalry among us. Please watch a film as a film. Don’t take is to the personal level. It is just entertainment. If you go to a theme park there will be so many rides. You will get an exciting experience in each of them. Like that every film is an experience that entertains you. Some films will touch your heart. Some will touch you emotionally. There is nothing more than that. Please don’t argue for us. It does not just stop with argument. It goes beyond that. If someone is like that in my home that will disturb me. "
Further, the 'Soodhu Kavvum' actor minced no words to praise Sivakarthikeyan's recent super hit 'Rajini Murugan'.
