Actor Vijay Sethupathi has landed in another controversy after a photograph where he is seen cutting his birthday cake with a machete recently to celebrate his 43rd birthday went viral.
Mr. Vijay Sethupathi received widespread criticism for posing with a machete as law enforcement officials have been regularly clamping down on and discouraging youth from using machetes in public.
A couple of years ago, a gangster named Binu Pappachan was caught celebrating his birthday along with hundreds of gangsters in the city and was photographed cutting his birthday cake in a similar manner with a machete and the photograph went viral. Since then, the police have been cracking down on youngsters using machetes in public.
