Sibiraj recently shared a photo on his Instagram story of Vijay meeting protesters against the Paranthur airport project, captioning it as "Koothadi." The project, located near Kanchipuram, has sparked protests from locals who oppose the use of agricultural land for the airport. Vijay, leader of Tamil Nadu Vetri Kagamagan, voiced his support for the protests, stating he doesn’t oppose the airport but wants it moved away from agricultural areas.

While Vijay’s visit to Paranthur drew attention, BJP leader Annamalai criticized Vijay for not visiting the area sooner after the party’s formation. In response, Sibiraj's post sparked a mix of reactions, with some fans of Vijay thanking him for the lighthearted "Koothadi" comment. The term "Koothadi" is often used to criticize the film industry, but Vijay's fans defended it, emphasizing that entertainers should be respected.

The story gained further attention as people speculated that Sibiraj’s post might be a subtle jab at Vijay, especially following his sister Divya's recent DMK affiliation. However, many fans appreciated Sibiraj’s playful post, seeing it as a way to highlight that “shocker” is not meant to insult.
