Many condemned the act after the video was circulated. The fans of Vijay are sharing the video with great rage.
Meantime, Vijayakant has helped Vijay a lot on several occasions. Vijay's father and director S A Chandrasekhar himself had revealed about it. My son Vijay's first film was a flop. So, he thought that if Vijayakanth and Vijay team up for a film, it would be a big boost for his son's career. Called the captain and he came home. When I told him about the remuneration, he asked me to go ahead with the shoot. The film Sendhurapandi was a big hit. What Vijayakanth did for Vijay was a big help. Had he not done that, Vijay would not have been here, Chandrasekhar had said.
