Thalapathy Vijay in trouble: Complaint filed against star for insulting Muslims during his Iftar party

Tamil singer Vijay recently held a spectacular Iftar gathering at the YMCA grounds in Royapettah, Chennai, which his admirers received well. However, the event has now become the centre of controversy, with the Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath filing an official complaint against the actor.

According to media sources, Syed Kous, Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath's treasurer, said the gathering violated Muslim sensibilities. He argued that the gathering was badly managed and did not reflect the real essence of Iftar.

Furthermore, according to a News18 article, Syed Kous remarked that those who had nothing to do with fasting or the religious meaning of Iftar were present at the gathering, making the occasion an insult to the community. He also questioned the event's security, claiming that Vijay's foreign guards were rude and behaved like 'cows'.

"Muslims were insulted at the Iftar program organised by Vijay. We believe the participation of drunkards and rowdies who had nothing to do with fasting or Iftar has insulted Muslims," he reportedly said. The treasurer has encouraged authorities to take legal action against the actor-politician, stating that the complaint was submitted not for notoriety but to prevent similar situations in the future.
