Vijay
Sethupathi
has
recently
been
in
the
news
for
allegedly
hurting
the
religious
sentiments
of
many
people.
Popularly
known
as
Makkal
Selvan,
Vijay,
on
the
reality
show
Namma
Ooru
Hero,
had
made
a
statement
that
in
Hindu
temples,
the
priests
let
people
see
when
the
idols
of
gods
are
being
bathed,
but
when
it's
being
dressed
up,
they
close
it
to
the
devotees.
His
anti-Hindu
remark
made
many
people
angry
and
All
India
Hindu
Sabha
from
Trichy
filed
a
complaint
against
him.
Well,
Makkal
Selvan
had
also
mentioned
that
a
small
girl
asked
her
grandfather
why
they
don't
allow
her
to
see
the
gods
being
dressed
up
while
they
do
show
them
bathing.
Vijay
Sethupathi
also
got
trolled
for
the
comment
as
many
netizens
abused
him
by
calling
him
'anti-Hindu'.
Reacting
to
Vijay
getting
trolled,
his
fan
has
filed
a
case
against
those
abusing
Vijay
for
the
'offensive
joke'.
J
Kumaran,
the
President
of
All
India
Vijay
Sethupathi
Chief
Fans
Welfare
Association,
has
sought
action
against
those
threatening
the
actor.
Vijay's
supporters
questioned
the
fact
that
the
'joke'
didn't
create
a
flutter
when
it
was
shared
by
the
actor,
but
now
the
topic
arised
only
after
the
right
wing's
intervention.
The
petitioner
has
urged
the
authorities
to
remove
all
the
controversial
posts
and
videos
on
social
media
against
Vijay,
besides
taking
legal
action
against
the
offenders.
For
those
who
are
unversed,
the
secretary
of
All
India
Hindu
Sabha
had
requested
police
commissioner
to
take
action
against
Vijay
Sethupathi.
He
felt
that
severe
action
will
work
as
a
deterrent
for,
actors
and
those
belonging
to
other
religions,
who
try
to
gain
publicity
by
defaming
Hindu
gods.
On
a
related
note,
Vijay
Sethupathi
will
next
be
seen
opposite
Nayanthara
and
Samantha
Akkineni
in
Vignesh
Shivan's
Tamil
romantic-comedy,
Kaathu
Vaakula
Rendu
Kaadhal.
The
music
of
the
film
is
composed
by
Anirudh
Ravichander,
and
it
will
be
produced
by
Lalit
Kumar.
