Thalapathy Vijay met the Tamil Nadu toppers of Class 10 and 12 at an event held on July 3 in Chennai.
Having taken a plunge into politics, Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay met the students who recently topped the 10th and 12th examinations in Tamil Nadu. The meet-and-greet event was held in two phases, with the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader gracing the second leg on Wednesday, July 3. Vijay not only honoured the students but also interacted with them at the Ramachandra Convention Center in Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai. Later, he shared pictures of his meeting with the students on Instagram.
In the pictures, the star can be seen entering the venue with folded hands as he greets the media personnel at the entrance. With a bright smile on his face, Vijay graced the stage and waved at the audience. In another one, he can be seen seated among the students and their parents, speaking to them and shaking hands. Dressed in his signature white shirt, Thalapathy Vijay received a rousing welcome.
Overjoyed by his humble gesture towards the students, the actor’s fans flooded the comment section with praise and appreciation. A fan wrote, “Love u Thalapathy,” while another commented, “You are the best man.”
Popular Tanzanian content creator Kili Paul also commented on the post and wrote, “Big love for you Sir. Been a fan of ur movies for long since Gun with vidyut jamwal you always a goosebumps. God bless you Sir.”
It is pertinent to note that Vijay, as a part of his political foray, is reaching out to first-time voters in the state to make his mark. Holding a massive fanbase in Tamil Nadu, Vijay announced his political party in February this year and received huge support from fans and friends.
What’s On The Work Front For Thalapathy Vijay?
Vijay is currently in the final phase of his upcoming film, The Greatest Of All Time (GOAT), directed by Venkat Prabhu. The film is slated for release on September 5 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. If reports are to be believed, he will soon start working on his 69th and alleged final film before entering full-time politics.
Tentatively titled Thalapathy 69, the film will be directed by H Vinoth and backed by KVN Productions. Reports also suggest that Samantha Ruth Prabhu will play the leading female role.
