About SA Chandrasekhar and Thalapathy Vijay's strained relationship

Thalapathy Vijay and SA Chandrasekhar's fallout reportedly started when the former attempted to convert one of the actor's fan clubs - All India Vjay Fans Association, into a political party in 2020. Vijay immediately distanced himself from his father's decision and also filed a lawsuit against him and a few others for converting his fan club into a political party.

Vijay also requested his fans to not join the party and cleared that he wasn't a part of it.

Later, Chandrasekhar withdrew from the idea of registering a political party after Vijay gave a warning to his father and others to not use his name and stardom for personal interests.

On the work front, Vijay is basking in the success of his Pongal release 'Varisu'. The film, directed by Vamshi Paidipally, also stars Rashmika Mandanna in the lead role.
