The star couple Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan seem to be navigating a challenging phase in their careers. Nayanthara is currently facing a legal battle over allegations of using a clip from Dhanush’s movie without authorization. Meanwhile, her husband, filmmaker Vignesh Shivan, has found himself at the center of online criticism.
Vignesh participated in a pan-Indian directors’ roundtable discussion recently, but his presence sparked backlash on X (formerly Twitter). Many users questioned his inclusion, noting that his last film, released in 2022, was not a pan-Indian project, and his upcoming film, Love Insurance Kompany, also does not fit the pan-Indian mold.
The criticism didn’t stop there, as netizens also targeted the interviewer for his selection of participants. The trolling eventually led Vignesh to deactivate his X account. While he has yet to comment on the matter through Instagram, it seems the incident has been a disheartening experience. Fans are now eagerly waiting for his response and hoping for his comeback on X.
