Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay has landed in controversy after a police complaint was filed against him for allegedly disrespecting the Muslim community during an Iftar event in Chennai.
According to a report, the Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath lodged the complaint at the Chennai Police Commissioner’s office, citing concerns over the event’s conduct.
What Are The Allegations Against Vijay’s Iftar Gathering
The complaint claims that Vijay’s Iftar program was disrespectful, primarily due to the presence of individuals who were allegedly “drunkards and rowdies.”
The event, which is meant for fasting and prayer, was deemed inappropriate due to the participation of such attendees.
Syed Kous, the treasurer of Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath, addressed the media, expressing his disappointment with the way the event unfolded.
“Muslims were insulted at the Iftar program organised by Vijay. We believe the participation of drunkards and rowdies who had nothing to do with fasting or Iftar has insulted Muslims,” he stated.
Additionally, he criticized Vijay for not issuing an apology and claimed that the event was conducted in a “hurtful manner.”
Security Guards Accused of Misconduct
Apart from the event’s organization, Syed Kous also accused Vijay’s security team of mistreating attendees. He alleged that the foreign guards behaved disrespectfully, comparing their treatment of people to “cows.”
The complaint further mentioned the lack of proper arrangements at the venue and criticized Vijay for failing to address the issues raised by attendees.
“Legal action should be taken against Vijay to ensure this does not happen again,” Syed added, clarifying that the complaint was not filed for publicity but to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Vijay’s Iftar Event at Royapettah YMCA
Vijay hosted the Iftar gathering at the Royapettah YMCA grounds, where he actively participated in prayers and broke the fast alongside attendees. The actor was seen wearing a skull cap, and visuals from the event quickly went viral on social media.
On the professional front, Vijay was last seen in “The GOAT,” directed by Venkat Prabhu. He is currently filming “Jana Nayagan” with H Vinoth. However, his focus is shifting towards politics, as he has officially announced that “Jana Nayagan” will be his final film before entering the 2026 elections.
This latest controversy has sparked widespread discussions, but Vijay has yet to respond to the allegations.
What Is Thalapathy Vijay’s Ethnicity?
