Vijay’s fans crowd outside Mumbai hotel

Vijay was in Mumbai, reportedly attending Priya’s baby shower, though the couple has yet to post about it on social media. A fan page for the actor on X (formerly Twitter) posted numerous videos of a massive crowd gathering outside the Taj hotel, where he was staying. One video shows all of them posing for a picture while holding up a TVK flag and chanting, “Thalapathy will be the CM, our vote is for TVK.” The video also shows a Police van standing by behind them.

The page also posted another video of fans waiting outside the hotel even after 12:45 AM, in hopes of catching a glimpse of Vijay. They chat amongst themselves and wait patiently, with some of them wearing scarves with TVK party colours. It is unknown whether the actor met his fans. But on Saturday, the fans believed that the actor-politician had returned to Chennai. Trisha Krishnan, whom he’s rumoured to be dating, was also in Mumbai recently to attend stylist Eka Lakhani’s wedding last week.

Vijay in the news lately

Vijay has been in the news lately for everything from his personal life to his political career and his unreleased film. His wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, filed for divorce after over 25 years of marriage. In her divorce petition, she cited infidelity, alleging that he was having an affair with an unnamed actress. Days after this news leaked, Vijay attended a wedding reception with Trisha in Chennai, wearing matching outfits.

Vijay also made news when the release of his final film, Jana Nayagan, was stalled. The actor is supposed to quit films for politics after the Tamil Nadu elections. The film that was supposed to hit screens in January has yet to be certified by the CBFC or have a new release date. Recently, there were reports that the CBFC has looped in the Election Commission of India (ECI) as Vijay is contesting in the assembly polls.

TN elections will be held on April 23, and Jana Nayagan is unlikely to hit screens till the poll results are announced, if the CBFC certifies the film by then.
