Apart from his movies, Prasanth has found himself in a tight spot after being fined by the Chennai City Traffic Police for not wearing a helmet during a bike ride. As part of promotions for 'Andhagan', a Tamil media channel had interviewed Prasanth while he was riding a Royal Enfield bike, and he wasn't wearing a helmet. The said video went viral on social media, and this alerted the traffic authorities. Subsequently, a fine was imposed on the actor for violating traffic rules.
