A case has been filed against him under the Narcotic Act for promoting tobacco smoking in the song.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world” is a quote commonly attributed to Mahatma Gandhi. The quote is a call to action, encouraging individuals to take responsibility for creating the change they wish to see in the world, rather than waiting for others to do so.
Being the undisputed actor with great ambitions to take a political plunge, everyone expects him to be the role model both in reel and real life for youngsters, his mass base in South India, especially Tamil Nadu.
The song ‘Naa Ready’ features the actor dancing with cigarettes in his mouth and Selvam, a social activist from Korukkupet in Chennai, has filed a case against Vijay’s song.
The activist in his complaint stated that the song promotes rowdyism and drug addiction. Selvam also blamed Vijay for dancing with a cigarette in his mouth and consuming alcohol. In the petition before the Chennai Commissioner of Police, Selvam said that the song ‘Naa Ready’ has gone viral and would provoke youngsters to do drugs. He filed an online petition on June 25.
Selvam has said that he will also move court to take action against the actor for promoting alcohol and tobacco in the song.
It may be noted that Vijay had felicitated the top three rankers of SSLC and plus two students in each constituency of Tamil Nadu in Chennai. During his speech at the function, he urged the students to uphold moral values. However critics are of the opinion that Vijay was preaching something and practicing something else.
The song ‘Naa Ready’ in the movie ‘Leo’ has received wide acceptance with the song crooned by ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay while South Indian music sensation, Anirudh Ravichandr did the music.
The film is scheduled for a theater release on October 19, 2023.
