STR had earlier posted a video addressing his fans and speaks about his young superstar tag. 

"I have danced for Rajini's songs since I was young. I agree I always wanted to be like Rajini, but I never said I will be the next Rajini. I have admired his growth and wish to be like him as an actor. When I watched Padayappa, the fans were celebrating him, I have stood in theatres and wondered if one day they'll celebrate me too.

Many people have yelled at me saying I can't be the next Rajini. People assume something and started demotivating me a lot. I didn't wish to be the superstar, I just wished to be like him and according to me, there is nothing wrong in that. 

Wrong examples are given out to the audience, I feel. Every actor has his period if you think about it. Since Rajini wished to be like MGR, he became Rajini and since Vijay and Ajith wished to be like Rajini, they have a place now.

So, there is no need to argue about all this. Everyone asks me why I said I wanted to be like Rajini since I was young and now suddenly, I don't wish to be like him anymore.

I don't understand this because, for example, someone who says I don't understand politics, I don't like politics is suddenly entering politics, no one will question them but, I don't know why everyone is questioning me"
