Panic Erupts as Ajith Kumar’s 285-Foot Cutout Collapses Ahead of ‘Good Bad Ugly’ Release

Tamil Nadu | A 285-foot cutout of actor Ajith Kumar collapsed outside PSS Multiplex in Tirunelveli, just days before the release of his highly anticipated film Good Bad Ugly, sparking panic among fans and passersby. The towering structure, erected by fan groups, swayed ominously before toppling to the ground — an incident captured in a viral video posted on Reddit.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the Ajith Kumar cutout collapse has raised serious concerns over public safety at large fan-organized displays. Eyewitnesses say the structure had been shaking for several minutes before it gave way, causing people nearby to run for cover.
Public Outcry & Online Reactions
The internet was flooded with reactions, many of which criticized the unsafe practices behind such installations. “He’s probably embarrassed by all these dumb things in his name at this point,” commented a Reddit user. Another added, “I wish they’d just ask themselves, ‘Is this all worth it?’”
Others highlighted how unstable the structure was from the start, with comments noting, “The top half had no support,” and “Expect a note from Ajith or a word from Suresh Chandra about this soon.”
Ajith’s Earlier Appeal to Fans
