As Vijay resumed work for his upcoming film ‘Master’ at Neyveli Lignite Corporation on Friday following an interrogation by Income Tax sleuths, cadres of the BJP staged a protest in front of the NLC, urging its management to revoke permission granted for the movie’s shoot.
On coming to know about this, Vijay fans thronged the spot and raised slogans in support of the actor. As tension and a clash-like situation prevailed, police had to use mild force to bring things under control.
According to a BJP member, “The mine is a highly secured area. It is wrong to use the mine for a movie shoot. We don’t know who gave permission to the movie team. We staged a silent protest outside NLC as the administration requested us to not enter the shooting area. If the shoot continues on Saturday, we will stage a different protest.”
It is to be noted that the crew of ‘Master’ had to stop the shoot on Wednesday after Vijay returned to Chennai along with I-T officials who stormed the spot and asked him to come to the city along with them.
Raids were conducted at multiple locations connected to Vijay, AGS Entertainment and financier Anbu Chezhiyan following tax evasion allegations. Huge money, documents and other things were seized, sources said.
