Well talking about the incident during his recent interaction with The News Minute, Sethupathi revealed that the assaulter was inebriated and the issue was blown out of proportion because of the spectator who captured the event on his phone.

Further stating that the assaulter was not a fan, the actor shared that he was intoxicated. "He was drunk. When people are not in their senses they behave like that. No, he was not a fan. He got into argument with us. The argument continued when we landed", said the actor

Notably, Vijay's security in public had worried his fans and followers who even expressed it when the 'attack' video went viral on social media. Well, quizzed about it, the star revealed that he doesn't travel with security guards. He added, "I only have my best friend with me when I travel. He has been my friend for 30 years. Now he's my manager also. I don't like to be surrounded by a group of people. I like to reach out, meet people, talk to them. I don't want to become an insulated star, cut off from reality because of one incident. If you show love to people they will love you back. Anyway, we took that man to the police station and it was all sorted out. Nothing major."

On the work front, Vijay Sethupathi has a slew of interesting projects in his kitty including Kadaisi Vivasayi, Maamanithan, Yaadhum Oore Yaavarum Kelir, and Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal among others.
