The Tamil Nadu Isai Vellalar Ilaignar Nala Sangam has served legal notices to Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan and Star Vijay for ‘defaming’ the community by allegedly handling the musical instrument Nadaswaram with disrespect on the reality show Bigg Boss Tamil.

The show, hosted by the actor and aired on Vijay TV, has been in the eye of storm right from its first day.

In the legal notice served, the group has alleged that the manner in which actor Shakti, one of the contestants on the show, handled the instrument was not just an insult, but also defamation. Apart from Kamal and the channel, Shakti and Endemol Pvt Ltd have been sent notices.
