While the shooting for “Sivaji” is well under way amidst tight security, a stabbing incident created panic and the situation was later brought under control. In the late evening hours of 23rd, an intruder tried to pass through the security area to take a look at his “thalaivar”. He was intercepted by a security guard and was sent away. Not one to give up easily, he returned after a few hours and tried to sneak in, only to be caught again. In spite of repeated persuasion, the man refused to go away. A wordy quarrel followed, and the man, pulled off a beer bottle he was carrying with him, and in an unexpected move, broke it and attacked Ramachandran, the Police Inspector, stabbing him in the stomach and slashing his face.
