Vijay Sethupathi caught in casting couch row: Explosive allegations surface online against ‘Thalaivan Thalaivii’ actor, fans REACT | Tamil Movie News
South Indian actor Vijay Sethupathi celebrated his memorable performance in films like ‘Super Deluxe’, ’96’, ‘Vikram Vedha’, and ‘Maharaja’. His role in Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster ‘Jawan’ further enhanced his pan-India popularity. Vijay Sethupathi is very appreciated for his versatility and grounded nature, while his recent release ‘Thalaivan Thalaivii’ is doing well in theaters. However, the actor has recently found himself at the center of a serious controversy after an explosive claim on social media.
Social Media claims spark outrage
A woman named Ramya Mohan took to X (formerly Twitter) and leveled disturbing accusations against Vijay Sethupathi, accusing him of being part of Kollywood’s alleged drug and casting couch culture. She claimed that a girl she knew, now a known face in the media, had been emotionally and physically exploited over several years by Vijay, which ultimately pushed the victim into rehabilitation. Ramya alleged that Sethupathi offered money for inappropriate favours under the guise of industry norms, calling it a deeply toxic environment masked by glamor and fake virtue.
Emotional appeal and post deletion
Ramya Mohan further expressed her frustration over how people tend to target the victim rather than the alleged offender. She mentioned that the truth only came to light after the victim’s family discovered her diary and chat records. Ramya criticized the public and media for idolizing men like Sethupathi despite alleged misconduct. However, following a wave of attention and concern for her friend’s privacy, Ramya later deleted her post, stating that she did not wish to worsen the situation for the woman involved.
Fans divided online
As of now, Vijay Sethupathi has not issued any official response regarding these allegations. The claims remain unsubstantiated in the absence of any legal complaint or verified identity of the victim. More importantly, the casting couch allegations against Vijay Sethupathi have caused mixed reactions among fans on social media. While some believe it to be true, most fans are questioning the post, saying, “Who is this crazy?” One person said, “What does it mean to scream like crazy in frustration and then say ‘I’ll delete it for her’?” Others said, “If you accuse such a big actor like that, you’re bound to get a backlash.” Even if it’s true, how can you believe it without proof?” they say. A customer vehemently questioned, “Why did you take two lakhs and fifty thousand?” This has led to a huge debate on social media.
