The event, which saw a massive turnout, was held at the YMCA grounds in Royapettah and was reportedly organised by his political party. According to Free Press Journal, imams from 15 mosques across Chennai were invited, and arrangements were made to accommodate nearly 3,000 people. Reports suggest that Vijay observed a full day of fasting, adhering to Islamic customs, before hosting a feast for the gathered devotees.
Photos and videos from the event have since gone viral on social media, capturing Vijay in moments of prayer and community bonding. His gesture has been widely appreciated, with fans lauding his efforts to embrace diverse cultural traditions.
Vijay is actively preparing for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections, where he is expected to contest independently.
On the work front, he was last seen in Venkat Prabhu’s action thriller ‘The Greatest of All Time (GOAT)’ alongside Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Mohan, Jayaram, Ajmal Ameer, Vaibhav, Yogi Babu, Premgi Amaren, Sneha, Laila, and Meenakshi Chaudhary.
He is now set for the release of his next movie, ‘Jana Nayagan’, directed by H Vinoth. The film features an ensemble cast including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, and others, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
This project marks the conclusion of Vijay’s illustrious film career as he transitions fully into politics.
