Vijay Sethupathi's daughter gets rape threats online after he quits from Muttiah Muralitharan biopic '800'

After receiving continuous negative comments and trolls over his involvement in film '800', which is a biopic of Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan, Vijay Sethupathi took to his official Twitter handle on Monday to announce his exit from the project. 

Muttiah Muralitharan earlier wrote a letter to Vijay Sethupathi requesting him to quit from the project, as he does not want Sethupathi to have any negative impact over his career because of him. 

Amidst this, trolls in social media are targeting Vijay Sethupathi's daughter and issuing rape threats now.   

Singer Chinmayi Sripaada took to her Twitter handle to share a screenshot of a sick troll. "Is nobody in this system going to change this? A man who can say in public about raping a child is a criminal," her tweet read.

She further added, "Why does this crappy society do this? Watch silently when this happens? How are men raised to speak out a rape threat? Why is it when adults fight like hyenas, the women and children have to suffer? Shame on all of you who do it and those who watch and remain silent."
