Vijay Sethupathi was assaulted by an unknown man at the Bengaluru
airport a few days earlier. The footage of him being viciously attacked at an
airport has gained traction. The altercation was eventually resolved by a co-apology passenger's for attacking Vijay Sethupathi's helper. The actor talked about the incident in an
interview with a leading web portal.
When asked what the purpose of the
airport attack was, he replied, "It wasn't anything special. Because a spectator captured the situation on his
phone, a little issue was exaggerated. He was inebriated. When
people are out of their minds, they act in this manner. Anyway, we transported that man to the
police station, where everything was resolved. Nothing major has happened. You're aware of how things are these days. Every
phone company has a
director on staff." The actor claimed that the attacker was inebriated, and that no one could tell whether he was sane or inebriated because of the mask.
However,
vijay sethupathi also responded to the memes floating on the Internet and he said there are several trolls regarding this incident and am aware of those too and most of them dragged '96'
movie and said
jaanu Husband was the attacker and I am unable to control my laughter on seeing those hilarious memes and trolls on social media.
