The Madras High Court has come down severely on Kollywood actor Vijay over the petition he filed seeking directives to avoid the entry tax for the luxury Rolls Royce Ghost car he imported from the UK.
During the hearing of the writ petition, Justice SM Subramaniam has slammed the star who moved the court to avoid the payment of entry tax.
The Madras High Court has suspended the writ petition and directed Vijay to pay the entry tax towards the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s Covid-19 Relief Fund in two weeks.
The Court found fault with the star for not mentioning his occupation in the petition. The High Court maintained that tax evasion is anti-national.
Saying that Vijay enjoys a huge fan base that sees him as a real hero, the High Court said, the state saw stars ruling the state. This made the people see cine heroes as real heroes, so they should act like real heroes.
The High Court said, actors project themselves as the winners who will bring social justice in the society.But the actors are trying to avoid the tax payment which doesn’t go well with their image, the court observed.
The Madras High Court opined that people who are at a responsible position should set up a good example to the people, who likes to follow them.
On the work front, Vijay will be seen next in Beast helmed by Nelson Dilipkumar. The first look poster dropped on Vijay’s birthday got a huge response from the fans and audience.
