A couple of days ago, Vijay was garnering headlines after a woman at AR Rahman's Chennai concert that all the mishaps that took place at the venue were orchestrated and he had a hand in it. 

Antony took to X, formerly known as Twitter to share an official note against the video, and also threatened to take legal action against those spreading lies about him. "With sadness in my heart, I am writing this letter to put a full stop to the ongoing controversy. A sister on her YouTube channel has been spreading lies about me and my brother AR Rahman. They are absolute lies. I am going to file a defamation case against them," he wrote in the note.
