KV Anand’s Ko went on to become a blockbuster. STR was originally signed up for the film but he walked out following differences with the director and Jiiva stepped in. STR’s fans bashed the film and Jiiva’s performance and STR had to step in and ask them to stop. But despite his handling of the situation, there was talk that an intense rivalry had brewed up between the two with a lot of mudslinging involved. Both the stars however have denied that they have a problem with each other.
