Thalapathy Vijay not defaulted on car insurance payments, says team

After Thalapathy Vijay arrived in a Maruti car to cast his vote in the urban civic poll election in Chennai on February 19, rumours gained ground that he had defaulted on his car insurance payments.

The RTO portal had reportedly showed an unpaid challan under his name for not renewing his car insurance. But his publicist, Riaz K Ahmed, has squashed the rumours by sharing a copy of the car insurance.

Ahmed shared the photo of the insurance on Twitter and wrote that for the past few days, news that #ThalapathyVijay’s car insurance is still due has been doing the rounds on social media.
