Later, after hearing that Black Pandi was facing financial difficulties, Sivakarthikeyan offered to help him through his manager. The manager visited Black Pandi\u2019s house and handed him money.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>However, Black Pandi said he hoped for a chance to act rather than financial support. Explaining his thoughts at the time, he said, \u201cThat money was not what I wanted. If Sivakarthikeyan recommended me for an opportunity, I could get a chance to act. My mother and I felt that getting an opportunity would be better.\u201d He also recalled keeping Rs 20 from the money near a picture of God and praying for a chance in films.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Black Pandi says Sivakarthikeyan misunderstanding was cleared<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Black Pandi said the incident was never meant to portray Sivakarthikeyan negatively. He described the actor\u2019s gesture as an act of kindness between friends but said his earlier comments were misunderstood and may have reached Sivakarthikeyan in the wrong way. <!-- -->He later met the actor in person to explain his feelings. Black Pandi recalled telling him, \u201cYou gave me money to help me, and that was a good thing. My hands and legs are fine, and I can work.<!-- --> I do not need the money. I only need an opportunity.\u201d According to Black Pandi, Sivakarthikeyan responded calmly and assured him that he would let him know if a suitable film opportunity came up.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Black Pandi requests people not to revive old Sivakarthikeyan issue<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The actor expressed disappointment that the incident is being discussed again after so many years. <!-- -->He said some social media posts suggested that Sivakarthikeyan insulted him by giving him money when he sought an acting opportunity. Rejecting this version of events, Black Pandi questioned why the old matter was being presented negatively. \u201cThis issue was settled long ago. I do not know why people are bringing it up again and spreading it,\u201d he said in his video.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>He also appealed to social media users not to circulate such claims. Through his clarification, Black Pandi sought to put an end to the renewed controversy and make it clear that he does not want the incident to affect Sivakarthikeyan\u2019s image.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/tamil\/movies\/news\/this-issue-was-settled-long-ago-black-pandi-reacts-to-sivakarthikeyan-controversy\/articleshow\/135187718.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Black Pandi has reacted to an old controversy involving Sivakarthikeyan that has made waves on social media.
