The point of argument earlier was a 5 am show given to the movie. Usually, only the big stars of Tamil films like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Vijay and others enjoy the so-called ‘privilege.’ 

After reports surfaced about the early morning show, Vishnu tweeted,  "5 AM shows lost its value. It has become a gimmick now (sic)"

RJ Balaji replied he himself thought it was a ‘gimmick’, but he confirmed with the theatre owners that they were doing so on their own, and that it was a ‘merit seat’ and not a ‘recommendation seat.’ 

He wrote, "Even I thought this 5am show for LKG is a gimmick, apuram theatre owner kitta direct ah kettu confirm pannikittane... We didn't get a recommendation seat but a MERIT seat! Now put this to rest and rest well. #RespectOthersWorkYoullGetUrs (sic)"

However, the duo sorted out their difference of opinion over call and called it ‘impulsive’ and ‘arguments within family’, while wishing each other the best.
