Kanimozhi Questions Vijay’s Stance on Lockup Deaths After On-Screen Portrayals

DMK MP Kanimozhi has publicly criticized actor Vijay, accusing him of hypocrisy regarding the issue of lockup deaths. Kanimozhi alleges that Vijay’s films have glorified such incidents, making his recent expressions of concern seem disingenuous.

On-screen Glorification vs. Real-world Concerns

The controversy centers on the apparent disconnect between how lockup deaths are portrayed in some of Vijay’s films and his public statements on the issue. Kanimozhi argues that the actor’s on-screen portrayals contradict his expressed concern for victims of custodial violence.

Debate on Cinematic Portrayal of Sensitive Issues

This incident has ignited a wider debate about the responsibility of filmmakers in depicting sensitive social issues like custodial violence. Critics question whether glorifying such incidents in films can desensitize audiences to the real-world implications.
