In the clip, he was seen creating a scene on the streets while verbally abusing the vendor. A crowd gathered to watch and the video quickly spread on social media.
Around the same time, the actor was detained at Hyderabad airport by CISF authorities. He was traveling from Goa to Kochi when officials found him intoxicated. Vinayakan was taken into custody for causing a disturbance at the airport but continued to create trouble even after detention.
Later, he was released on bail. Addressing the incident in an interview with Manorama News, he denied any wrongdoing and challenged officials to check the CCTV footage to verify his claims. "I do not know why I'm being taken into custody. I have done no wrong. The CCTV visuals can be checked for evidence," he said.
Meanwhile, Vinayakan is well-known for his role in Rajinikanth starrer Jailer and Thekku Vadakku.
