Watch: Vijay's Fans Follow Him On Cars, Bikes Without Taking Safety Measures Despite Actor’s Appeal
Vijay spoke to the press at Chennai airport before heading to Madurai, and he had a message for his fans.
Tamil actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party chief Vijay recently spoke to the press on Thursday at the Chennai airport. He talked with reporters before boarding a flight to Madurai. As per Hindustan Times, the ‘Leo’ actor said that he is not travelling to Madurai for political reasons, but to shoot his final film project titled ‘Jana Nayagan’. “There is a lot of misinformation spreading on social media about my Madurai visit. I just want to make it clear that this is not a political visit,” he said.
He added, “It’s for my professional work. I am going to Kodaikanal for the Jana Nayagan shoot.”
Vijay then told his fans that he is concerned about their safety due to their reckless behaviour. “I feel very sad and worried when I see my fans riding bikes without helmets to follow me. This is reckless behaviour. I urge everyone to prioritise safety and avoid such actions,” he said.
This appeal from Vijay came after chaotic scenes ensued in the cities he had visited so far, with one fan even jumping down from a tree to meet him. However, Vijay's fans did not listen to this request as several supporters followed him on their cars and bikes.
A video being shared on X shows fans of the actor celebrating even before he landed in Madurai. The supporters were seen hanging their head out of cars from the windows.
