Actor Vignesh Audio Controversy: Actor Vignesh's assistant gave an interview to a leading media portal about the recent audio controversy. H said, "Vignesh sir paid only 100 rupees for a salary of 700 rupees. He scolded me by caste for asking for the remaining salary."

Actor and BJP leader Vignesh castigated and obscenely insulted a young man who asked him for salary, the audio of which went viral on social media and created huge controversy in the film industry and political circles.

Did Vignesh Defraud His Assistant?

When a leading media portal contacted Vignesh's assistant about this, he said, "My hometown is Madurai. I am looking for a job in Chennai and am working as a touch-up boy assistant for senior actors. I went to work with Vignesh for the new serial for two days of shooting.

He paid 700 rupees on the first day. The second day was half a day of shooting. He should pay full salary for one day shooting and half day shooting. This is known to all in the industry. He handed over 100 rupees to me, said that he will give the rest in G-pay and left.

Vignesh Insulted His Assistant Using Caste Name?

Then, he took me for a five days of shooting for the film 'Chandramukhi-2'. Again, he paid only half the salary. He didn't pay the remaining salary as promised. He asked me to ask the manager of the film. When I asked the manager, he said that he had given it to Vignesh. Production companies don't always pay us directly. They give it to the actors.

I called him and asked for my salary. Again he gave the same answer. Well sir, I finally requested him to give my balance payment for the serial atleast. He spoke insultingly about my mother and my caste name. Apart from that, he sent me only 250 rupees. Even then the full salary is not paid. I had severe depression.

My father works as a laborer in the village. The job will not be regular. I send money home after I go to work. You know the cost of room rent in Chennai, food during non-shooting times. Even after knowing all these, how come he can hit me in the stomach? The manager of the film production company will give us a full day's salary even if it is a one-day shoot or a half-day shoot. Can this actor defraud us of thousands of rupees without even paying us the salary?" he asks painfully.

The audio in which Vignesh spoke abusively to the young man who worked with him as assistant is now going viral on social media.
