Popular South Indian actor Thalapathy Vijay was in the news after Income tax officials interrupted shooting of his upcoming film, Master. According to reports, the shoot was interrupted to question him about some unaccounted payments related to his last film, Bigil. Reports add that the IT department found some suspectable transaction between the producer and financer of Bigil a few days ago, and to get a clear picture, the officials took Vijay into custody.

According to media reports, the raid has resulted in stalling of shooting for Master. But handling the situation wisely, the makers of the upcoming film have reportedly planned to shoot the portions of Vijay Sethupathi and other actors in the absence of Thalapathy. According to media reports, the shooting of Master is smoothly progressing in the coal mines of Neyveli, where Thalapthy Vijay was supposed to join the crew.
