The fan could be seen holding some papers in his hand.

A fan who was present there re-shared the video and called out Simbu’s bodyguards writing, “Dear Bodyguards, plz dont be so rude.. We are all human beings, and so are you.” They added, “Even you rude to me oso.. If you allowed everyone to meet him, people wouldnt behave like this.” However, the fan wrote that they respected Simbu for caring for his fans. “Actor #Simbu once again showing heart over hype,” wrote a fan, while another commented, “Nothing but pure respect for #SilambarasanTR.”
