Tamil actor Arya has found himself at the center of a controversy following his comments about sadhus in Varanasi during the promotions of his upcoming spy thriller Mr. X, directed by Manu Anand. The film, which also features Gautham Ram Karthik, R. Sarathkumar, and Manju Warrier in key roles, is scheduled for release on April 17, 2026.
During a promotional interaction, Arya recalled his experiences while shooting for Naan Kadavul in Varanasi. His remarks, however, have drawn mixed reactions and criticism on social media.
He stated, “When we were shooting for ‘Naan Kadavul’, we went to Varanasi. The place was full of fake sadhus. Many of them are people who have committed crimes and are now living there in hiding. I’d say about 60% of the sadhus are real, but the other 40% are fake swamis.”
He further added that many of them do not carry any formal identification and described them as individuals who stay incognito for years before moving on. Arya also recalled a separate incident during a Kumbh Mela shoot, mentioning that police had issued warnings about security risks in the area due to the presence of armed individuals.
His comments have since sparked debate, with a section of audiences criticizing the generalization, while others view them as his personal observations from past shooting experiences.
