Indian actor Vijay has filed a civil lawsuit against 11 people, including his own parents. Vijay is the son of filmmaker SA Chandrasekar and Shobha.
As per the lawsuit, which was filed in a city court, Vijay has said that no one is allowed to use his name to organise public meetings and gatherings. Vijay filed a civil lawsuit against his own parents because his father recently revealed that his son is interested in politics. He then went ahead and even registered a party in Vijay’s name.
Chandrasekhar made his wife Shobha as the treasurer of the party while his relative Padmanabhan was named the party President. In a statement, Vijay clarified that he did not grant permission to start any party and filed a lawsuit against 11 people to restrain them from using his name.
The case will be heard on September 27.
“I don’t have any connection directly or indirectly with the political statements that my father has issued. I’m not bound to follow my father’s political aspirations. I request my fans not to join the party that my father has started. If anyone tries to misuse my name, photo, or my fan clubs for their political aspirations, I will take necessary actions against them”, he had said in a statement, last year.(Hindustan Times)
