• In July 2023, a car in which Vasan was travelling crashed into a two-wheeler on Nelson Manickam Road in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Reportedly, the person riding the two-wheeler got hurt, but Vasan, along with Chellam Senthil (the director of Vasan’s first movie, Manjal Veeran), and another friend who was in the car didn’t suffer any injuries. Right after the accident, Vasan called for an auto-rickshaw and left the scene. Allegedly, Senthil was driving the car overspeed, and he lost control, hitting a pole near a gas station after hitting the motorcyclist. A video of Vasan getting into a heated argument with the person who was filming the incident went viral on social media.

• His motovlogging career came to an end in October 2023 when his license was suspended for 10 years after he met with an accident due to rash driving.

• The motorcycle Vasan was riding during the accident was worth Rs 20 lakh and his riding gear cost around Rs 2 lakh. Despite his request for bail, the Madras High Court rejected his plea. Justice C.V. Karthikeyan decided not to grant bail to the motorcyclist based on the arguments presented by the Additional Public Prosecutor. The prosecutor pointed out that Vasan had around 4.5 million young followers who admired him and influenced their parents to purchase expensive motorcycles worth lakhs of rupees. Some of these followers even misused these motorcycles for activities such as chain snatching and reckless driving on public roads, thereby putting other drivers and pedestrians in danger.
