When Chithra Lakshmanan asked Alagappan on how he allowed his son to marry an actress as he restricted them to enter cinema industry earlier, Alagappan said that he couldn’t anything about it as Vijay was adamant. “I denied him permission several times and struggled a lot to restrict him from marrying her. It is a tragedy” said Alagappan about the marriage of A.L Vijay and Amala Paul.

“It is nothing about marrying a girl from cinema industry. I have treated actresses who worked with us like sister. We can’t blame a woman blindly. What worried me the most is the characters of Vijay and Amala Paul won’t work for a marriage life. We have heard a lot about her. But we didn’t accuse her blindly but I kept insisting Vijay that it won’t work” said Alagappan in the interaction with Chithra.

“I couldn’t do anything about it as he was so adamant about his marriage. Before marriage she gave her word to me about converting her religion. We are Lord Shiva’s devotees and she belongs to christianity. She accepted to convert her religion. Then I asked her not to act in movies after marriage. She accepted to both and conducted marriage in a church about which I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t stop at the last minute. Then he (A.L Vijay) realized himself and got divorce from her” said the producer who added that Vijay is now happy with his second marriage life.
