CHENNAI: A fan of actor Vijay who updated the tickets for movie, 'Varisu' at a theatre in Tiruthani, in his Whatsapp status was conned by unidentified persons, who used the QR code and got the tickets before him.

Police sources said that the fan who got three tickets for 6.30 pm show at Durga theatre in Tiruthani on Wednesday had uploaded the tickets on his Whatsapp status, which had the QR code.
