Vijay says, “Your respect for yourself is a sign of your respect for me”

It has become a ritual of sorts to do Paal Abishegam to the cut outs of favorite stars during the release of a film by fans. An Ilayathalapathy fan Unnikrishan did the same in Palakkad after seeing the film Kaththi yesterday and as fate would have it, he fell down from the cut out and died.

On hearing this, a visibly upset Vijay has sent a note that reads

Sir,

I deeply mourn and extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of  Sri.Unnikrishnan from Vadakkanchery, who lost his life during the celebrations yesterday.

The loss of my loved one is irrecoverable and will remain in my heart forever.

I humbly request all fans to show your support in ways that do not endanger your life and the lives of those around you, especially during celebrations and festivals like Deepawali.

Kindly take adequate safety and security measures, otherwise these kind of incidents gives unbearable pain.

Your respect for yourself is a sign of your respect for me.
