While, on one hand, he was bestowed with a huge fan following, on the other hand, he has become noticeable and gained attention on how he dotted up the controversy. His recent straight forward response holds a testament of how the actor has stood by his word. Recently, the Income-tax department had camped its raids in the residencies of Actor Vijay and the properties belong to the AGS film production company and film financier Anbu Chezhiyan. The raids carried several speculations and aired mixed reactions from the political parties.

The raids had however taken Actor Vijay close to his fans who spotted the actor at the movie shooting in NLC, Neyveli and although the IT sleuths ended up with recovering nothing from Actor Vijay, his upcoming movie 'Master' and the crew had gone through the aberrant and unexpected developments that went viral among social media handles across the state. While the fans of Vijay had sent solidarity to the actor during the IT search through social media, it also aired the semi-argumentative posts which say that the actors of the Master movie have been getting converted to Christianity through the daughter of one of the reputed educational institutions in the state.

 

The Social Media winged the names of the actors including Vijay Sethupathi and stated that they have been converted to Christianity while many other artists are expected to convert soon. The social media assumed that Actor Vijay is backing the daughter of the institution and this has been the prime reason why the actor has been raided. After such speculations gained the spotlight, it has spurred the anger from Vijay Sethupathi and without blaming anyone, he simply tweeted "Just go and do your job". He tweeted his response on February 12th and recently, while answering the question raised by the reporter, he pressed his statement and brought the controversy to an end.

Despite being unnecessarily trapped, his straight forward response has been reminiscent of how the actor has been in the past. He has been ensuring that his reputation must neither carry the stain of political influence nor any political affairs and his recent caught up with the controversy raises a question from his fans - Does Vijay Sethupathi deserve this?
