Soon after Sasikala's proxy Edappadi K. Palanisamy won the trust vote in the Tamil Nadu Assembly after high drama and bedlam, Kollywood took to social media to express its protest.
It all began with Kamal Hassan, when he said, “There you go. Seems like we have another CM. Jai de-mockcrazy.” The veteran actor mocked the MLAs for their action in the assembly and urged people to receive their respective MLAs "with the respect they deserve back home".

Aranmanai 2 and Ayutha Ezhuthu fame actor Siddharth quipped saying Sasikala now needed a laptop in jail so that the transport cost of EPS and his gang could be saved. He also called it a shameful day for democracy.
Give #Sasikala a laptop in jail. Save transport cost (our money) for #EKP and his gang for 4 years. Time to put more salt in our food #TN

Actor Arvind Sami rejected the trust vote and said this was not people's mandate. He said that the only solution for the present crisis was re-election.
In my opinion, The only solution that is acceptable under the circumstances is a re- election. This is not the people's mandate.

Actor Suriya indirectly tweeted on the political drama saying, “ippodhu mixture saapittu kondiruppadhu naam than nanabargaley” (who are now eating mixture). Earlier, before Panneerselvam staged his revolt, the social media was abuzz with comments saying he was known just for eating mixture (a snack).
Earlier, as the high drama unfolded in the Assembly, actor Madhavan, quoting a previous tweet of Kamal Hassan, tweeted: “LISTEN TO HIM -spot on.do these people ever question every act of theirs with "is this in the best Intrest of my country and people"-WHEN??”
