The gesture has become a huge hit among fans, who have made the clip viral on social media.
Only recently, Vijay hosted an event to honour all the toppers of the 10th and 12th standards of every constituency of Tamil Nadu. At the event, Vijay asked students to read about Tamil leaders. “Till the extent possible, read about everything, read about leaders like Ambedkar, Periyar, Kamaraj. Take what’s good and leave the rest,” he said. The event has left people wondering whether the actor is soon going to enter politics.
