Trigger Warning: The article contains mention of an individual's death.

Thalapathy Vijay is currently busy with his work commitments, including the shoot of Jana Nayagan. He recently wrapped up the film’s schedule in Kodaikanal and returned. However, upon his arrival at Madurai airport, a huge crowd gathered around him, causing commotion. As the situation began to get out of control, one of his bodyguards was seen pulling out a gun and pointing it at a fan.

In the video, an elderly man is seen rushing towards Vijay at the airport. From the video, one can see him getting too close to the actor and refusing to step back, prompting the security personnel to push him aside. Some believe the gun was pulled out by mistake, while others viewed it as a clear lapse in judgment. Either way, the viral video has left netizens shocked.

However, Vijay did not notice the incident unfolding behind him and continued walking towards the terminal.

Meanwhile, the video garnered mixed reactions from netizens. In support, one social media user wrote, "What did he expect when jumping over armed guards?" Another user commented, "Showing GUN POINT ON HEAD against public is this allowed in the airport?"

Another comment on the viral post read, "When the public or press approaches other actors like Rajinikanth sir, Ajith sir, Sivakarthikeyan Na, Suriya Na, they are very much kinder than this man over here! Poor tata, he thought he might get to see Vijay, but he and his team had other plans!"
