Ajith expressed his unease with the superlative terms used in the chant, stating, “Of late, a certain factor has been disturbing me and in particular slogan, K....', 'Ajithey' has been publicly recited on various events and public gatherings. I am uncomfortable with superlatives or any kind of prefix mentioned alongside my name. I prefer being addressed by my name or my initials.”
He further urged fans to put an end to the practice immediately. “I take this opportunity to request all those who indulge in this slogan shouting practise in public places to stop this with immediate effect & restrain themselves from doing so ever again. My sincere request to everyone is to work hard, play hard without hurting anyone, look after your respective families & be law-abiding citizens. Live and let live," the statement read.
