Actor Vishal took to X, formerly called Twitter, where he paid a tribute to Raju. He wrote, "So difficult to digest the fact that stunt artist Raju passed away while doin a car toppling sequence for jammy @arya_offl and @beemji Ranjith's film this morning." The actor said that he had known Raju for "so many years" and he "performed so many risky stunts in my films time and time again as he is such a brave person."
"My deepest condolences and may his soul rest in peace. May God give more strength to his family for their grave loss. Not just this tweet but will definitely be there for his family's future, being from the same film industry and also for his contribution to so many films. From the bottom of my heart and as my duty I extend my support for them. God bless," he added.
Actor Arya and director Pa Ranjith have not made any comments yet related to the accident. Vettuvam is a multi-starrer also featuring Sobhita Dhulipala, Attakathi Dinesh, Kalaiyarasan, and Lingesh.
