Filmmaker Vignesh Shivan has landed himself in trouble due to his latest social media activity. He accidentally liked posts related to rumours of a fallout between Thalapathy Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj, as well as a post about Nayanthara and Trisha. This led many to believe that Vignesh was endorsing the trolling content. Amid this, Vignesh issued a clarification and urged his fans to refrain from wasting their energy on what he termed a 'silly mistake.'

On October 8, he accidentally liked the abovementioned posts, which garnered attention on social media. A few hours later, Vignesh realised that he had liked the wrong posts. After facing criticism from fans, Vignesh Shivan took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue an apology
