Kollywood actor Vijay, who was questioned by Income Tax sleuths, found himself in fresh trouble when he resumed shooting of his upcoming movie Master.
A group of BJP workers protested outside the Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) on Friday, demanding that the permission granted for the shooting be revoked. According to News18, one of the protesters said they were opposing the decision to use the mine for a movie shoot. He claimed that the NLC administration asked them not to enter the protest area and so they had staged a silent protest.
The makers of the movie had obtained permission for shooting for 10 days.
