The controversy began after fabricated screenshots, designed to resemble genuine entertainment news reports, circulated widely on social media. The posts claimed that Vijay’s alleged demands had forced the film’s producers, Mythri Movie Makers, to approach the Producers Council. (The Indian Express)
