The Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath has reportedly lodged a criticism against actor and TVK chief Vijay following a recent Iftar event he hosted. Vijay hosted the Iftaar gathering in Chennai on Friday, and the criticism was filed on the Chennai Police Commissioner’s office, alleging that the actor “insulted Muslims” in the course of the event.
Criticism Filed Against Vijay Thalapathy For Insulting Muslims?
The Iftaar took place on the YMCA grounds in Royapettah, where Vijay donned a skull cap and took part in prayers before breaking his fast. He shared an Iftar meal with attendees, and diverse pictures and videos from the event circulated widely on social media.
What Did Treasurer Syed Kous Stated?
The News18 report states that Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath treasurer Syed Kous met the media to debate the organisation’s criticism against Vijay. He reportedly said, “Muslims were insulted on the Iftar program organised by Vijay. We imagine the participation of drunkards and rowdies who had nothing to do with fasting or Iftar has insulted Muslims.”
Syed also stated that the event was organised in a hurtful manner. He called out Vijay for not ‘expressing regret’ at how the Iftar turned out. He alleged that arrangements weren’t made appropriately and that Vijay’s ‘foreign guards’ disrespected people, ‘treating them like cows. “Legal motion needs to be taken against Vijay to make sure this doesn’t occur again. We didn’t file a criticism for publicity,” he added.
About Vijay’s Projects
Having last appeared in Venkat Prabhu’s 2024 film “The GOAT,” Vijay is currently filming for H Vinoth’s Jana Nayagan. The upcoming film features Pooja Hegde, Mamitha Baiju, and Bobby Deol. It’s going to be Vijay’s final project before he runs for election in 2026. The actor recently addressed critics, announcing that he won’t be signing any recent movies and reaffirmed his commitment to his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), which he established last 12 months.
