Veteran Tamil film lyricist Vairamuthu Sunday said sexual harassment allegations against him are "false" and he is ready to follow the legal route if the accusers file a complaint against him.

Several women, including singer Chinmayi Sripaada, have accused Vairamuthu of sexual harassment.

Apart from her own story, Chinmayi corroborated three accounts of Vairamuthu's alleged sexual misconduct and posted them on Twitter without naming the victims.

In a short video released on Twitter, the lyricist claimed he has collected "unassailable evidence" in his defence and said he was ready to face those accusing him in the court.

"Allegations levelled against me are totally false, motivated. If they are true, those concerned can file a case against me.. I am waiting to face," he said.

Vairamuthu said in past one week he held in-depth deliberations with senior lawyers and intellectuals on the issue.

Asking people to not judge him, the lyricist said, "None should decide if I am a good or a bad person. Let the court decide. I will bow to the court's verdict."
Reacting to the lyricist's video, Chinmayi Sunday tweeted "Mr. Vairamuthu should take a lie detector test. Enough said."
