A few days ago, when a picture of Vijay and Rashmika Mandanna, believed to have been leaked from the sets of 'Varisu' began doing the rounds on social media, rumours began to emerge that Sanjay, the son of actor Vijay, had made an appeal to people not to share the leaked picture.

However, the actor's side has now confirmed that Sanjay was not there on any social media platform.
