I second it. I am a AB fan and as u mentioned I stopped ceeing after a stage when I felt he was acting in craps and now he is doing good, but AB as a person I hate him especially after he became loyal to a party known for cheap politics, after the land grab act etc. he has the head wieght on him which is not likable nowadays by anyone includes me. Hence the anger of tamils on him, I agree but I dont side them when they say he is not a good actor and rajini is superior to him.
In fact the tamils look to rajni as a superstar because he had done good deeds, a decent & simple guy and downtoearth person, which I like but definintely not as a superstar and not heroworship to the extent of doing palabishek, taking arthis and all, this is really going crazy.
