The
Madras
High
Court
on
Tuesday
(July
13)
imposed
a
fine
of
Rs
1
lakh
on
actor
Thalapathy
Vijay
reportedly
for
not
paying
entry
tax
for
his
Rolls
Royce
car.
According
to
reports,
Vijay
has
been
directed
to
pay
the
fine
to
the
Chief
Minister's
Corona
Relief
Fund
within
2
weeks.
Notably,
the
import
tax
is
20%
of
the
cost
of
the
vehicle.
Reportedly,
Vijay
had
earlier
sought
an
exemption
for
his
luxury
vehicle
imported
from
England
in
2012.
On
a
related
note,
a
few
days
back
a
video
on
the
internet
claimed
that
Vijay
was
driving
his
wine-coloured
swanky
Rolls
Royce
in
Chennai,
which
had
created
quite
a
buzz
on
social
media.
Though
it
is
not
known
if
Vijay
was
driving
the
car,
several
reports
and
social
media
posts
stated
that
it
was
the
actor
taking
his
car
for
a
spin
in
the
outskirts.
With
respect
to
work,
the
star
is
currently
shooting
for
his
next
with
Nelson
Dilipkumar
titled
Beast.
The
first
and
second
look
poster
of
the
film
featuring
Vijay
was
released
on
the
occasion
of
his
47th
birthday
(June
22).
The
film's
second
schedule
commenced
recently
in
Chennai.
The
first
schedule
was
wrapped
up
in
Georgia.
Backed
by
Sun
Pictures,
the
film
features
Pooja
Hegde
as
the
leading
lady.
Also
starring
Yogi
Babu,
Beast
has
music
composed
by
Anirudh
Ravichander
and
camera
cranked
by
Manoj
Paramahamsa.
Touted
to
be
a
complete
action
thriller,
the
film
is
expected
to
release
by
the
end
of
2021.
