Thalapathy Vijay's 'Thalapathy 64' in trouble?

According to reports, The Tobacco Monitor team has filed a complaint against the makers of Thalapathy 64, for unlawfully smoking inside differently-abled school premises. The team has reportedly charged the makers under Section 4 of the COTPA (Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act), which states, 'Smoking in public places is prohibited’. On the other hand, Section 6 (b) states that the sale or usage of cigarettes or any other tobacco product is prohibited within 100 yards of any educational institution; be it school, college or even a tuition centre.'

The Tobacco Monitor team claims that some members from the crew were seen smoking at the Victoria Memorial Blind School, Chennai, where the cast and crew of Thalapathy 64 were shooting some scenes of the upcoming movie, which has Thalapathy Vijay playing the role of a college professor. The forthcoming movie also features Vijay Sethupathi and Malavika Menon in the lead. The complaint filed in the wee hours of Tuesday still awaits the reply from the makers of Thalapathy 64.
