Thalapathy Vijay Faces Legal Trouble Over Controversial Song ‘Naa Ready’ from Upcoming Film ‘Leo’

Chennai, India – Popular South Indian actor Thalapathy Vijay finds himself in legal trouble as a case has been filed against him under the Narcotics Control Act. The case stems from the controversy surrounding his recent song ‘Naa Ready’ from the highly anticipated film ‘Leo,’ where the actor was seen promoting the consumption of tobacco. The portrayal of smoking in the song has drawn criticism and accusations of hypocrisy, given Vijay’s recent speech emphasizing the importance of maintaining a good character.

The controversy surrounding the song has been fueled by social media backlash, with many questioning the actor’s decision to promote unhealthy habits in films. While Vijay’s fans argue that it is merely acting on the screen and does not justify such actions in real life, critics argue that public figures should exercise caution when depicting potentially harmful behaviours onscreen.

‘Naa Ready,’ the first single from ‘Leo,’ received an overwhelming response from the audience upon its release. Sung by Thalapathy Vijay himself and composed by Anirudh Ravichander, the song showcased the actor’s mesmerizing dance moves and was released on his birthday, along with the unveiling of the film’s first poster.

Speaking of the poster, the first look of ‘Leo’ has generated significant buzz and anticipation among fans. Audiences have decoded the poster in various ways, drawing comparisons to Game of Thrones and speculating about potential Easter eggs. Excitement for further updates on the film is palpable.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, ‘Leo’ features Trisha Krishnan as the female lead opposite Vijay, marking their reunion after a gap of over 14 years. Sanjay Dutt portrays the antagonist and also plays the role of Vijay’s father in the film. The stellar star cast includes Gautham Vasudev Menon, Arjun Sarja, Mysskin, Priya Anand, Mansoor Ali Khan, Mathew Thomas, and others in supporting roles. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on October 19, 2023.

As the legal case unfolds, Thalapathy Vijay’s fans eagerly await further developments while the actor and his team navigate the controversy surrounding the portrayal of smoking in ‘Naa Ready.’ The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible representation in media, especially when it comes to the influence public figures hold over their fans and followers.
