Thalapathy Vijay’s Bodyguard Startles Fans With Gun Opening

The buzz around Thalapathy Vijay’s political entry just took an unexpected turn, but not because of a speech or a press meet. Instead, it was a split-second move at Madurai airport that set social media on fire.

On May 5th, as Vijay returned from a Jana Nayagan shooting schedule, fans gathered in huge numbers to catch a glimpse of the star. Amidst the chaos, an elderly fan got unusually close to the actor. When verbal warnings didn’t work, one of Vijay’s bodyguards abruptly drew a gun and pointed it briefly in the fan’s direction before shoving him aside. The moment, caught on video, went viral within hours.

The footage has divided the internet. Some say the bodyguard’s reaction was over the top, especially since the fan appeared harmless. Others argue that in today’s political climate, with Vijay stepping deeper into public affairs, security personnel are under intense pressure to act fast and decisively.

Vijay, focused and walking ahead, seemed completely unaware of the drama unfolding behind him. The actor hasn’t responded, and neither has his team, but the clip has already raised bigger questions about how much security is too much and how far fan enthusiasm can go before it turns risky.
