On March 7, 2025, Thalapathy Vijay organized an Iftar gathering at Royapettah YMCA to foster goodwill and unity. The event saw the actor wearing a skullcap, participating in prayers, and sharing an Iftar meal with attendees. While it was intended as a gesture of communal harmony, it quickly became a point of contention.
The Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath strongly objected to how the event was conducted. Syed Kous, the organization’s treasurer, filed a complaint stating that:
Unruly individuals, including “drunkards and rowdies,” were present, allegedly ruining the sanctity of the occasion.
Attendees were treated disrespectfully, likening it to being “treated like cows.”
The security personnel were insensitive to religious sentiments.
According to the complainants, their intention is not to seek publicity but to ensure that such incidents are not repeated. They have called for legal action against Vijay.
Despite the controversy, Thalapathy Vijay remains focused on his upcoming film “Jana Nayagan” (“Hero of the People”), directed by H. Vinoth. This film is particularly significant as it is Vijay’s last movie before entering full-time politics. The film features a stellar cast, including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Prakash Raj. It is set for a grand release on January 14, 2026.
This controversy has sparked debates among fans and the general public. While some support Vijay’s intention to bring communities together, others criticize the event’s execution. As Thalapathy Vijay transitions into politics, this incident highlights the challenges public figures face when engaging in sensitive cultural and religious events.
It remains to be seen how Vijay or his team will respond to the allegations. Will this controversy impact his political ambitions? Only time will tell.
