The early morning cycle ride of Tamil star Vijay to cast his vote has become a talking point across the state and the social media. It has become a trending topic all over, with many saying the star came on cycle showing his dissent on Central Government.
It became viral online that Vijay came out on cycle to express his concern over the rising fuel prices. It is his way of protest, said many fans and political experts.
Well, it seems the word has reached Vijay. A clarification has been issued now. According to the star’s side, it was an impromptu decision as the polling booth is near. The roads are narrow and arriving in the car would have been a big traffic issue. Keeping all that in mind, Vijay decided to take a cycle ride.
It could be indeed true, but the viral images earlier in the day portrayed a different narrative altogether. What also aided in its spreading is the past incidents where Vijay was surrounded by controversies involving BJP.
The films Mersal and Sarkaar were in controversy over some elements that had political overtones. Since then, Vijay is seen as the poster boy of anti-BJP in Tamil Nadu state. So, when he went out on cycle, the expected happened.
