Vikram was arrogant?

Tamil Star Hero Chiyaan Vikram, who is known for his down to earth nature and professionalism, was labeled an arrogant actor by the US Tamil Sangam President. Here is an explanatory post on the actual happening.

Vikram was invited as the chief guest at the Independence Day Parade in New York by America Tamil Sangam. The pictures from the event conveyed that Vikram obliged to meet and pose with fans but the US Tamil Sangam President, Prakash M. Swamy, has now made a major revelation through his Facebook post saying that the actor was arrogant and a shame to Indian film industry.

'We are disappointed with you Vikram. We did not invite you to New York to be disrespectful to Indians, keep talking on cell phone and texting without greeting your fans and friends while on the float. He exhibited arrogant behavior laced with attitude when even his co-star Abhishek Bachchan was down-to-earth friendly and shook hands with all his fans.

We actually wanted to invite Prabhu Deva but his schedule was clashing. Instead, Vikram put off his fans with his clumsy attitude of not greeting them. Compare this with the previous Tamil grand marshals of the India Day parade in the past - AR Rahman and Sarath Kumar and Radikaa Sarath Kumar, who were down to earth and never got tired of posing for photos or meeting fans and they were literally mobbed unlike some 30 or 40 people who came near Vikram.

People still remember Sarath Kumar in New York for his kindness and genuine affection towards people and he never faked. Is he (Vikram) bigger than Sarath Kumar in stature and seniority? And he used the title and insisted on projecting himself as a South Indian superstar. He does not deserve to be invited to any event abroad as he thinks of himself as Rajinikanth and Shah Rukh Khan in popularity. You are not invited in Air India first class ticket to do 'sightseeing' and indulgence at the cost of hard work to get sponsorship. Shame on you and you brought shame to our country, industry and especially Tamil Nadu with your arrogance, attitude and ego as a star,' wrote Swamy.

Vikram has not yet responded to this accusation and harsh criticism. The actor's fans on the other hand couldn't believe he could have behaved in such a rude manner.
