‘Thalapathy’ Vijay paid tribute to the late actor-politician Vijayakanth on Thursday evening at Island Ground in Chennai, where the icon is lying in state. A video being shared online shows Vijay walking through a mob of fans, visibly distraught, when a shoe comes flying towards him and hits him.
Vijay does not look back and a person walking beside him throws the shoe back in the direction from where it came. It is not known why Vijay was seemingly targetted, but a representative of one of actor Ajith’s fan clubs shared a statement condemning the attack. He shared, “We #Ajith fans strongly condemneding this disrespect behaviour to vijay . whoever it may be, we should respect when they came to our place. Throwing slipper to @actorvijay is totally not acceptable 👎🏻 Stay strong #Vijay.” Vijay and Ajith’s fans have clashed many times in the past.
