Tamil film star and politician Vijay recently organized a grand Iftar gathering at the YMCA grounds in Royapettah, Chennai. While the event was widely appreciated by his fans, it has now sparked controversy after the Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath filed a formal complaint against the actor, alleging that the gathering disrespected the sentiments of the Muslim community.
According to media reports, Syed Kous, the treasurer of Tamil Nadu Sunnat Jamath, claimed that the event was poorly organized and failed to uphold the true spirit of Iftar. He stated that several individuals who had no connection to fasting or the religious significance of the occasion were present, making it an inappropriate representation of the religious gathering.
Additionally, Syed Kous raised concerns over security measures at the event, alleging that Vijay’s foreign security personnel treated attendees disrespectfully. He urged authorities to take legal action against Vijay, emphasizing that the complaint was not for publicity but to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

Despite the controversy, Vijay was seen actively participating in customary prayers and sharing an Iftar meal with attendees. Dressed in a skull cap, he engaged warmly with the gathering, and several pictures and videos of the occasion went viral on social media, showcasing his enthusiasm for the event.
Vijay, who officially launched his political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) last year, has been making headlines for his increasing involvement in social and political initiatives. He also announced that he will not be signing any more films as he prepares to contest the 2026 Tamil Nadu elections.
On the professional front, Vijay was last seen in Venkat Prabhu’s 2024 action film The GOAT. He is currently working on Jana Nayagan, directed by H Vinoth, which also features Pooja Hegde, Mamitha Baiju, and Bollywood actor Bobby Deol in pivotal roles.
While the Iftar event was meant to be a gesture of goodwill, the controversy surrounding it has added another dimension to Vijay’s evolving political journey. It remains to be seen how the actor-turned-politician responds to these allegations as he continues his transition from cinema to politics.
