In the Story, Sibiraj shared a quote from Vijay’s speech from Sarkar's audio launch in 2005, along with a picture of the actor: “Usupethuravan kitta ummu’num, kadupethuravan kitta cammu’num iruntha vaazhkai jammu’nu irukum”, translating to, if you stay silent with those who provoke and remain calm with those who irritate, life will be great. While he made no direct reference to the ongoing row, the timing has led many to interpret it as an indirect show of support for Vijay. Later, a video of him endorsing a TVK candidate too made the rounds on social media.

Sibiraj's Story comes amid his father Sathyaraj’s recent criticism of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief while campaigning for the DMK. During a rally this week, he revisited the controversy surrounding the 2013 film Thalaivaa, remarking that Vijay had begged: "Amma, Amma (then Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa), please release my film." But now, Vijay, was showing a lack of decorum by calling Chief Minister MK Stalin “Stalin uncle”, the senior actor and vocal DMK supporter said. "If Vijay had dared to call Jayalalithaa 'Aunty', he would have been shredded like kothu porotta," he joked, even claiming that actor-racer Ajith Kumar could draw even larger crowds than the TVK chief.

Directed by A L Vijay, Thalaivaa had faced disruptions over its 'Time To Lead' tagline, along with bomb threats warning theatres against screening it. The State government, led by Jayalalithaa, denied protection, citing law and order concerns. Vijay later released a video seeking support from the government and police after attempts to meet the Chief Minister reportedly failed. The episode also saw a fan's death by suicide and widespread piracy affecting the film.

Meanwhile, Sathyaraj's daughter, Divya Sathyaraj, who is the DMK IT Wing's State Deputy Secretary, said in a recent interview that political differences within their family have not caused a rift, adding that she and her brother support different parties but respect each other’s choices.
