Actor Vaibhav is keeping a low pro file these days. He isn't seen much in public and avoids Ajith fans. This will continue for another few weeks, till the Mankatha fever subsides. Now that Vaibhav has punched Ajith in a scene in Mankatha, Thala fans are warning him wherever he goes. 'How dare you touch my Thala?' is the question he's often asked.
In Tamil cinema, where heroes are worshipped like demi Gods, Vaibhav has taken a risk by hitting Ajith on screen. He says, "When I was watching the film in the the ater, in the scene where I hit Ajith, I heard Ajith fans screaming. When they saw me they warned me not to do it the next time. It's ok, I know they do it out of love for Ajith. I too hesitated to hit him in that scene but Ajith was very sporting!" On a lighter note, when asked if he would ever hit a superstar again, he laughed and said, "Never, not even if the character demands it!"
