A social activist, V Selvakumar has filed a complaint against A.R Murgadoss' Thupakki that has Vijay starring as the lead with the beautiful Kajal Aggarwal opposite him. Its not the movie but its poster showing youth icon 'Vijay' puffing a cigar that has made the news now.
The Ministry of Health and the Government of India has banned any public display of smoking and the posters of A.R Murgadoss' Thupakki showing Vijay smoking a cigar violates this. This objectionable poster has been displayed all over Chennai and in the print media as well.
"In regard to the above mentioned violation of the Indian Tobacco Act, I have filed a complaint on 04 May 2012 with the Commissioner of Police, requesting to take necessary action against the violators," informed Selvakumar.
Recently, Shah Rukh Khan was pulled up for smoking in public and now it is Vijay's turn. The makers of the film are yet to comment on this situation.
