A cadre from the Tamil Nadu BJP made it evident that the ruling center was going all out against the actor, by staging a protest at the Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) in Cuddalore district, where the shooting was happening. In response, a huge crowd gathered at the NLC shooting spot, to welcome Vijay back to filming when the IT raids were over.
Vijay commemorated the response to this political targetting with a selfie with the gathered crowd, which has since become known as the 'Neyveli Selfie', and Vijay's signature move with his fans.
