Controversy Erupts as Malayalam Actor Shine Tom Chacko Takes Aim at Thalapathy Vijay’s Pay Disparity and Acting Skills
In a recent interview, Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko has once again found himself at the center of controversy, this time for his remarks regarding his “Beast” co-star Thalapathy Vijay. Known for his candid statements, Shine stirred the pot by suggesting that an actor’s income doesn’t necessarily correlate with their acting prowess.
Comparing Thalapathy Vijay to industry veterans Mohanlal, Mammootty, and Kamal Haasan, Shine remarked that while Vijay may not possess the same level of acting talent, his massive stardom commands a higher salary. The actor delved into the gender pay disparity issue between Vijay and Nayanthara, asserting that the wage gap extends beyond gender, encompassing various factors, including acting skills.
Unsurprisingly, Thalapathy Vijay’s fan base didn’t take kindly to Shine Tom Chacko’s comments, expressing their discontent on social media. This isn’t the first instance of Shine facing backlash for criticizing Vijay’s acting. In relation to their collaboration on the film ‘Beast,’ Shine previously commented on the apparent ease with which Vijay handled physically demanding scenes, attributing it to the film crew rather than Vijay’s own efforts.
On the professional front, Shine Tom Chacko, last seen in the Tamil film ‘Jigarthanda DoubleX,’ has a slew of upcoming projects, including ‘Iyer Kanda Dubai,’ ‘Aaraam Thirukalpana,’ and ‘Devara.’ Meanwhile, rumors abound about a potential collaboration between actor Suresh Gopi and director Abrid Shine, adding fuel to the already buzzing news cycle around Shine Tom Chacko’s controversial statements.
