A distributor said, "Last week, we decided to meet Rajinikanth sir and explain the situation. The distributors from the entire region have suffered a huge loss. When we approached him, we were stopped by the police force near his residence and we had to go away. It is disappointing that they did this. There is no desire to meet us. Therefore, we have decided to go on a hunger strike." Rajinikanth starer Linga (2014) faced a similar fate when he took heavy losses for distributors.
