Fact Check-

By performing a simple reverse image search on Google, the results led us to the original image on Twitter. Christopher Kanakaraj, a film critic, has shared the original picture. Sai Pallavi is accompanied by Tamil film director Rajkumar Periasamy.

This is a photograph of the pooja ceremony for the film SK 21, which was directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and starred Sai Pallavi as the female lead. This image of director Rajkumar Periasamy holding clapboard is being edited and circulated in such a way that the clapboard cannot be seen.

This is actually a picture of the pooja ceremony of the movie SK 21 starring actor Sivakarthikeyan and directed by Rajkumar Periasamy starring Sai Pallavi as the female lead. This image of director Rajkumar Periasamy with clapboard in his hand is being cropped and circulated in such a misleading manner that the clapboard cannot be seen.
