Director Mohan on Thalapathy Vijay
Actor-politician Thalapathy Vijay is currently making headlines after his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, filed for divorce before the Chengalpattu district court. Amid this, he was spotted attending a wedding with rumoured GF, Trisha Krishnan. After their spotting, director Mohan G Kshatriyan was slammed for lauding Vijay’s ‘guts’. He has now issued a clarification and mentioned he does not support an illegal affair.
He wrote, "Actor Vijay Sir answers everyone in his style and shuts down all rumours. He has guts." Soon after, the filmmaker received immense backlash for allegedly supporting Vijay and Trisha’s affair. A social media user wrote, "I had great respect and hope for you as a director. I believed you stood for something good, for our culture and dharma. But this post reveals the truth. It shows how the film industry will do anything for fame and money. The values shown in movies rarely reflect real life. Unfollowing you."
