While fans and the film fraternity are still mourning the loss of their beloved ‘Captain’, a cryptic post from director Alphonse Puthren, implied that the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam founder’s death was not natural but the result of foul play has left fans shell-shocked.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the ‘Premam’ director made a post addressing Udhayanidhi Stalin, the current Minister for Youth Welfare & Sports Development & Special Act Implementation. In the post, he implied that several prominent politicians such as Vijayakanth, Jayalalitha, and M Karunanidhi were murdered.
He also alleged that several murder attempts were made on Kamal Haasan and Stalin Sr on the sets of the upcoming action drama ‘Indian 2’. He then warned the politician that he may well be the next target, so he should start an investigation to trace the mysterious assailants.
“I came from Kerala and sat in the Red Giant office and told you to get into Politics. I also asked you to find out who murdered Kalaignar, who murdered Iron Lady Jaya Lalitha. Now you have to find out who murdered Captain Vijayakanth. If you ignore this, they already tried to kill Stalin sir and Kamal sir in Indian 2 sets,” he wrote.

He then referred to the smartphone the politician had given him when his movie ‘Neram’ hit the big screens and stated that finding the murderers is “simpler than that.”
The post shocked his followers. Some wondered if his account was hacked. Clothes worried about the director’s mental health as his last directorial ‘Gold’ had been a box-office catastrophe.
Although the director deleted his post, he uploaded another new post hours later, this time addressing superstar Ajith Kumar. In the post, he talked about how he came to learn about ‘Valimai’ star’s political ambitions from Malayalam star Nivin Pauly and Tamil actor-director Suresh Chandra Menon and warned him that he was a sitting target for the same group.
“This was after you called Nivin Pauly home and chatted with him because your daughter Anoushka liked his performance in Premam feature film,” he wrote, adding, “But till now I have not seen you in Public and Political Front. Either they lied to me or you forgot there is someone against you,” he wrote.
None of the actors he has mentioned in his notes have responded to the allegations yet.
Vijayakanth passed away on Thursday, after a bout of pneumonia. The actor-politician was on ventilator support after he developed breathing trouble.
He was admitted to a private hospital in Chennai after a diagnosis of Covid-19.
