He was last seen on the big screen in Atlee’s Bigil which was a box office hit. It was the highest grossing Tamil film last year. Vijay was in the news earlier this year, with IT-raids at his home. Nothing significant could be recovered from the search that was on for more than a month. Sources in the department also stated that Vijay had paid the necessary taxes for the salaries that he had received for both Bigil and Master. In the midst of the controversial raids against, Vijay's selfie with fans on the sets of Master in Neyveli had gone viral. Vijay took to Twitter to post the picture which showed him and hundreds of fans behind him. “Thank you Neyveli,” he had tweeted.
