Chennai witnessed a grand Iftar celebration as Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay hosted an event attended by thousands. The actor, donning a traditional skullcap, sat among Maulanas and Imams, actively participating in prayers before breaking fast with the attendees.
In an event that seemed as much a political statement as a religious gesture, Vijay ensured the presence of Imams from 15 different mosques, making elaborate arrangements to accommodate nearly 3,000 guests. The actor’s gesture comes at a time when his political ambitions are the talk of the town, raising eyebrows about whether this was a move to consolidate support among the Muslim community or simply an act of religious inclusivity.
While Vijay has maintained a neutral stance in politics, his increasing public outreach—especially towards different religious communities—suggests a strategic narrative being shaped ahead of Tamil Nadu’s evolving political landscape. His upcoming political entry, already a subject of speculation, makes such public gestures all the more significant.
Whether this was a genuine act of goodwill or a well-timed public relations move, one thing is certain—Thalapathy Vijay knows how to stay in the spotlight, both on and off the screen.
