Vijay’s Thalapathy 64 Teams Lands In Trouble, Complaint Filed Against Cast And Crew For Smoking Inside School Building

Tamil star Vijay has been keeping his legion of fans waiting for his next film Thalapathy 64. The shoots of the film is currently on, but it looks like the crew of the film has got themselves in hot waters. A complaint has been launched against the team for smoking inside a school premises that they were shooting inside.

he alleged incident came into light after The Tobacco Monitor App issued a media statement on the said issue. The official media release for the same reads as, “"The Section 4 of the COTPA (Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act) states that, '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 movie crew has shown such a lethargic attitude by smoking inside the school where countless number of disabled children get educated.”

Neither the star nor the makers have responded to the complaints yet and it remains to be seen if this one becomes a major controversy or not.
