Director Rajkumar Periasamy has shed light on a notable incident involving actor Vijay at the 2009 'Villu' press meet. The moment, often remembered as Vijay losing his temper, was clarified by Periasamy as a reaction to continuous noise. He explained that workers were moving chairs in the hall after the event concluded, creating a scraping sound that disturbed Vijay while he was speaking to the media.
Periasamy stated that Vijay's shout of "Silence" was not directed at journalists but was a response to the intolerable disturbance. This explanation, given years after the event, reframes the widely interpreted memory of Vijay being upset with the press. The film 'Villu', released in 2009, starred Vijay alongside Nayanthara and was directed by Prabhu Deva.
In other news, Rajkumar Periasamy is preparing for the release of his upcoming film, 'O.M.'. The movie, featuring Dhanush, Mammootty, Sai Pallavi, and Sreeleela, is scheduled to premiere on November 20.
