In a shocking turn of events, Tamil star Thalapathy Vijay hosted an Iftar in Chennai on Friday and according to a source, the Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath has now complained to the Chennai Police Commissioner's office about the actor for "insulting Muslims" at the event. According to the report, Syed Kous, the treasurer of Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath, met with the media to talk about the group's complaint against Vijay.
As per News18 he reportedly said, ¡°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.¡±
Here¡¯s why Vijay is reportedly facing legal trouble over alleged insult to Muslims
Syed further criticised Vijay for failing to "express regret" for the Iftar's outcome, saying that the event was planned in a "hurtful manner." He said that Vijay's "foreign guards" mistreated individuals, "treating them like cows," and that improper arrangements had been made. "To make sure this doesn't happen again, Vijay should face legal action. For publicity, we didn't submit a complaint," he continued.
The Iftar party
Notably, actor-turned-politician Thalapathy Vijay participated in the celebrations of Ramadan on Friday. He is expected to enter politics shortly after his last movie, Jana Nayagan. The Iftar was arranged by Vijay and took place in the Royapettah YMCA grounds on Friday. Social media was flooded with images and videos of the event too.
