Darshan has been getting immense support from the KGF star’s fans on Twitter, with them sharing old pics of the two actors together. One fan wrote, “We are with you, Darshan sir.” Another one wrote, “I stand with D Boss.”

This comes after a miscreant, who was allegedly a Puneeth Rajkumar fan, threw a slipper at Darshan while the actor was addressing his fans in Hospet. Although the actual reason for the alleged fan’s outrage is still unknown, Darshan’s recent comments on “Goddess of Luck” during an interview has irked many people.

Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep also came out in support of Darshan and penned a lengthy statement on Twitter on Tuesday. Sudeep, who was last seen in pan-India film Vikrant Rona, strongly condemned the incident by calling it “very disturbing”. He further said that “humiliating” Darshan in public would reflect badly on Kannadigas.

In his statement, Sudeep also called out Puneeth’s fans and wrote: “As far as Darshan is concerned, I agree there may have been a situation that isn’t so pleasant between him and Puneeth fans. But is this reaction Puneeth himself would have appreciated and supported? An answer to this is something that probably each of his beloved fans know.”
