Actor Vijay Sethupathi celebrates his birthday today and social media has been filled with wishes for the actor. On the other hand, a birthday celebration photo has got Vijay Sethupathi into a controversy as well.

Few days back Vijay Sethupathi celebrated his birthday with his next movie director Ponram's team and photo of the celebration turned viral. Vijay Sethupathi is seen cutting cake with a long dagger.

This evoked controversy and it was said that it was unlawful to do such celebration with dagger, longer knives and that a case will be filed. Now Vijay Sethupathi has given his official clarification on this issue. In his note he has thanked people for their wishes and has said that this was photo taken before 3 days with Ponram and team in his office. "Since a Patta Kaththi (dagger) plays an important part in Ponram's movie, I used the same dagger to cut cake, and people have advised that this will set a wrong example, and I assure that I'll be very careful from now in such issues. If this incident has hurt anyone, I apologise for the same" said Vijay Sethupathi in the note.
