The sudden outburst of actor Vijay at the ‘Villu’ press meet held in the year 2009 stands out as one of the few instances when the usually calm and composed actor lost his temper. While answering the questions of the media persons, the actor, who is usually known for his placid behavior, raised his voice and said, ‘Silence.‘
Rajkumar Periasamy uncovers the truth behind Vijay’s ‘Villu’ press meet outburst
The director Rajkumar Periasamy has now come forward to explain the actual events of that day. In a recent interview with Sudhir Srinivasan, the ‘Amaran‘ filmmaker said the actor’s reaction was caused by the disturbance inside the venue rather than anger towards journalists. His explanation offers a different perspective on the incident, which has often been remembered as Vijay losing his patience during a media interaction.
Vijay’s ‘Silence’ moment at ‘Villu’ event was triggered by chair noise
Recalling the incident, Rajkumar Periasamy said the continuous noise of chairs being moved around the hall disturbed Vijay while he was speaking. According to the director, workers were shifting chairs after the event and continued their work without realising that someone was addressing the media. Explaining the situation, he said, “When I watch that video of Vijay sir shouting, I understand what happened there. After the event at the hall, they were moving all the chairs. They were continuing their work, thinking someone was talking and they could carry on with their job.”
Rajkumar Periasamy says constant disturbance made Vijay shout at ‘Villu’ press meet
The filmmaker further explained that the repeated scraping sound from the chairs became increasingly distracting for the actor. He added that Vijay eventually shouted because he could no longer tolerate the disturbance while speaking. The clarification comes years after the incident and sheds light on a moment that was widely interpreted as the actor being upset with the media. Released in the year 2009, ‘Villu’ was directed by Prabhu Deva starring Vijay along with Nayanthara, Prakash Raj, Vadivelu and others. Even after a long time since the release of this movie, the outburst of Vijay during its press meet is still remembered by the fans.
