Thalapathy Vijay was attacked at Vijaykanth’s funeral in Chennai last week. The Tamil actor joined the film fraternity to pay his last respects at the funeral. However, an angry mob of mourners attacked Vijay, with one even hitting him with a slipper. Following that incident, there was a widespread social media outrage urging the authorities to take strict action against the perpetrator. Now, an official complaint has been lodged.
A police complaint has been filed by an office bearer of Thalapathy Vijay, Makkal Iyakkam, claiming that a chappal was allegedly hurled at popular actor Vijay when he came to the DMDK headquarters to pay his final respects to Captain Vijayakanth who passed away on Dec 28.
The funeral took place in Chennai with several Tamil stars attending it. Vijay was one of the stars present at the funeral. In a video that went viral on X, previously known as Twitter, a distraught Vijay was seen making his way through the mob to offer his last respects. He met Vijaykanth’s family and offered his condolences. As he made his way out, the actor was brutally mobbed while the police helped him wade through. A video also showed an unidentified man threw a slipper at him. Fortunately, Vijay managed to escape the hit.
The complaint was filed by TVMI South Chennai district president. The complaint asks the police to take action against the individual who hurled the chappal at Vijay, which according to the complainant, caused hurt to Vijay fans.
Meanwhile, Vijaykanth died on Thursday, December 28. The 71-year-old actor turned politician was on ventilatory support after testing positive for Covid-19. The actor-turned political leader who also founded the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) party was admitted in MIOT International.
