Tamil Nadu Government has removed legendary actor 'Nadigar Thilagam' Sivaji's statue from Marina Beach, Chennai, and installed it at the Adyar Mani Mandapam. While this might not seem as a big deal, the act irked 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan who immediately took to Twitter. “Sivaji left a strong impression in the hearts of aspiring Tamil actors and fans. Let's make another statue and protect it forever, my dad Sivaji is above the Government.”

While the Madras High Court had asked the government to remove the structure from the beach citing it to be a hindrance to transportation, it was only after the court directive that the government reinstalled the statue in Adyar.
