And while the lyricist has vehemently dismissed the allegations, singer Chinmayi Sripaada has called him a liar. Here's more.
Statement
Vairamuthu calls these allegations a mere publicity gimmick
Vairamuthu, who happens to be a seven-times National Award winning lyricist, took to Twitter to rubbish the allegations leveled against him.
