Vimal Sells Vegetables At Hometown Market
Vimal’s decision to join the vegetable sellers appears to have been spontaneous. Once word spread that the actor was at the market, people began gathering around him.
Rather than keeping his distance from the crowd, Vimal spent time speaking with local traders and customers. He was also seen weighing and selling vegetables alongside the vendors for a while.
Afterwards, the actor reportedly gave Rs 500 each to some of the nearby sellers. The gesture added another talking point to a video that has already been widely shared online.
Video Goes Viral Amid Cheque Bounce Case
The video has emerged shortly after Vimal found himself in the headlines over a cheque dishonour case.
A Chennai court sentenced the actor to one year in prison in a Rs 4.5 crore cheque bounce case connected to the production of his film Mannar Vagaiyara. According to reports, the amount was borrowed from financier Gopi for the film’s production, after which a cheque issued towards repayment was allegedly returned unpaid because of insufficient funds. The court later suspended the sentence for one month to allow Vimal to file an appeal.
