CHENNAI: Actor Vijay has, yet again, distanced himself from the political aspirations of his father film director S A Chandrasekhar. In a public notice on Saturday, the actor’s advocate, S Kumaresan, said his client will not be responsible for rumours and any consequence that could occur to anyone through the activities of Chandrasekhar and his Vijay Makkal Iyakkam, Virugambakkam.
He noted that Chandrasekhar, without his client’s authorization, registered a political party in the name “Äll India Thalapathy Vijay Makkal Mandram” and registered a society “Vijay Makkal Iyakkam” on June 8, 2020. On November 5, 2020, Vijay issued a public notice disapproving of the activities of his father and requested his fans to not be involved in the political party or society or a movement organised by Chandrasekhar. The notice said Vijay did not authorise the activities of Chandrasekhar and that he had been strictly intimated through a legal notice to stop using Vijyay’s name in the party/society as well as his photos in public meetings.
Appropriate legal measures were initiated on the activities of the All India Thalapathy Vijay Makkal Mandram and Vijay Makkal Iyakkam, it said.
