Overview
- Thalapathy Vijay, whose roadside rally stop Monday was filmed, invited a newly married couple into his van and handed them a small gift.
- The pair, still in wedding clothes, sought his blessing as the bride whistled with joy, and video of the exchange spread quickly across social media.
- He is touring Tamil Nadu as chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam ahead of the April 23 assembly election, with results due May 4.
- His film Jana Nayagan remains without certification after a dispute with the Central Board of Film Certification, and a full leak on April 9 has dimmed hopes of a release before voting.
- A separate divorce case involving Vijay had a hearing deferred to June 25, according to reports from Monday’s court schedule.
