Incredible achievement by Thala fans!
The fan page of Ajith Kumar on Facebook has reached 1 million yesterday. It would not be a hyperbole to say that this is indeed an incredible achievement. When even established artists and celebrities are struggling find a strong foothold on Facebook and hiring social media agencies and other digital management companies to enhance their image and presence on online space, an unverified page run by fans gaining 1 million loyal fans is worth celebrating.
The page https://www.facebook.com/actorajithfans is on par with the fan pages of Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. The official fan pages of Sallu Bhai and SRK stand at 1 million and 1.1 million respectively. With this achievement, Thala fans have joined the elite club too. Though the official pages of Kamal Haasan and Vijay has 2.4 million and 1 million likes respectively, no other page created and run by fans exclusively has touched 1 million in South India. Ajith’s absence in social media is also one of the strong reasons for this feat since fans have to rely on a trusted source regarding the actor’s projects.
We would also like to bring to your notice that a lot of fan pages of Kamal Haasan and Vijay are merged together as soon as the actors officially joined Facebook which made their fan pages insignificant. It was done to make the fans rely on the official page for any authentic information on the actors’ projects.
