Vijay stumbles and falls

Vijay fans were angry at the mismanagement of the crowd outside the airport premises.

Several videos of Vijay stumbling and falling just before getting inside his car have surfaced on X. In the clip, Vijay was seen surrounded by hundreds of fans outside the airport premises as they shouted ‘Thalapathy’ and tried to get near him. Vijay was pushed and mobbed, and suffered a fall right in front of the car. However, he maintained his calm and got up instantly.

One commented, “Thalapathy Vijay is alright.. But We need some serious civic sense and crowd management..” Another said, "Wherever you go, Thalapathy Anna, a huge crowd is bound to gather. So please travel only with proper planning and full security arrangements."

A comment read, “Presence of irrelevant or unauthorized individuals also needs clarification. For public safety and transparency, CCTV footage must be reviewed and a proper enquiry conducted to understand how security protocols failed and to prevent such incidents in the future.” A second user said, “There are barely 200 people that you can’t even control, yet you’re blaming #Vijay for the #Karur political rally with over 40,000 attendees, thinking you could manage it with just 500–600 police.”

Jana Nayagan releases worldwide on January 9, 2026, for Pongal. It also stars Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Prakash Raj, Gautham Menon, Priyamani, and Naren. The film will be Vijay’s final film before he focuses on his political career as the head of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) political party.
