Vijay: I Can’t Stop People From Writing Imaginative Stories About Me

Controversy is the name of the game for South Indian actor Vijay. The actor, who has usually maintained a low profile in front of the media is thus tempted to come to his own defense. First, there were accusations against Vijay’s upcoming Kollywood release ‘Kaavalan’. Next, we get to hear that after being roped to play the prized role of Aamir Khan’s in the Tamil remake of Bollywood blockbuster film 3 Idiots, Vijay has walked out of the project. And yet again is the surprising revelation that the actor will join active politics in his native state.
Responding to all the allegations and questions put forward by the media, Vijay first confirms that he is definitely not joining politics, at least not at the present moment because he is happy with the profession of an actor. Vijay’s upcoming release ‘Kaavalan’ has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. First there was a problem with the film’s overseas distributing rights and now the news is that the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association has refused to allow the film to be released in India too. Vijay though, is hopeful that ‘Kaavalan’ will soon hit theaters and will also create magic in the Kollywood box office considering that the songs are already chartbusters.
And now comes the final accusation that Vijay has walked out of Shankar’s remake of 3 Idiots. Vijay confirms to the media that he has not walked out but is facing some date problems, about which he has also spoken to Shankar and hope that the issues will be sorted out soon. Vijay may be the most controversial man of Kollywood at present, but he is also trying his best to do away with the controversies in his life.
