In the video, Pethuraj is seen refusing to open the trunk of her car when asked by the police. A brief argument ensues, with Pethuraj asserting that she has all the necessary paperwork and questioning the reason for the inspection. She firmly refuses to open the trunk, citing privacy concerns. The video ends with Pethuraj seemingly objecting to the officer recording the incident.
Social media has been abuzz with reactions to the video, with many speculating that it could be a staged publicity stunt for an upcoming movie. Some netizens point to inconsistencies in the video, such as a police officer seemingly wearing casual sandals while on duty. Others argue that Pethuraj's impassioned performance lends credence to the possibility of a genuine altercation.
The incident has reignited discussions about the ever-blurring lines between reality and promotion in the film industry. With Nivetha currently lacking film projects, some film analysts believe the video might be a strategic move to garner attention for a potential new movie. However, the lack of any official confirmation from the actress or her team keeps the true nature of the incident shrouded in mystery.
