Malayalam actor Vinayakan, known for playing the antagonist in Rajinikanth’s film Jailer, was booked by the Hyderabad police on Saturday after allegedly getting into a scuffle with airport staff while intoxicated. The actor was detained by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and later handed over to local authorities.

Authorities have stated that Vinayakan will be released after a thorough questioning.
This isn’t the first time Vinayakan has been involved in such incidents. In October 2023, he was arrested for causing a disturbance at the Ernakulam police station in Kerala while intoxicated.
At that time, Vinayakan had called the police to his home over a family dispute, but allegedly misbehaved and used foul language towards the officers. He continued to cause a commotion at the police station and during a medical examination, leading to him being booked.
