Vijay is a popular and one of the most-sought after actors of Tamil cinemas. But he has fans across the country. It is true every industry has its own favourite and leading superstars, but does that mean one is permitted to demean other actors? Siddique is a popular actor and producer from the Malayalam film industry. In an interview with a leading portal, the 56-year-old made unsavoury statement about Tamil star Vijay. The comment ‘He (Vijay) Is Not A Super Actor’ has not gone down well with Thalapathy’s fans.Thalapathy 63 Team Dismisses Rumours of Fire on the Sets of Vijay’s Next.

Siddique was last seen in Mammootty starrer Madhura Raja in which the former essayed the role of a City Police Commissioner, Rajendra Babu. As per a report in The Week, citing a Malayalam portal, the reported stated that Siddique called Mammukka and Mohanlal as the superstars of Malayalam cinema but also stated that Tamil actor Vijay maybe a superstar but ‘He Is Not A Super Actor’. Siddique was quoted saying, “The Malayalam film industry is lucky enough that we have two big Ms- Mammootty and Mohanlal, both of whom are superstars as well as impeccable actors. Whereas, other industries like Tamil have a different scenario. People like Vijay may be a superstar, but he is not a super actor. It is his stardom that spurred him in the industry. However, I believe Kamal Haasan is a good actor and superstar.” Madhura Raja Movie Review: Mammootty in Good Form, but Struggles to Raise This Vysakh Film From Mediocrity.
