In an interview with Behindwoods, Sai recalled, “Do you know who is Vijay sir’s biggest fan? It’s Rajkumar Periyasamy, sir. We were on the sets when the announcement about ‘Thalapathy 69’ was made, he said it would be his last film. I’m usually a very emotional person, so I felt sad seeing Rajmar sitting nearby. And he started crying after the announcement, I’ve never seen him in such a state.
Rajkumar Periasamy’s support for Vijay extended beyond cinema to his political journey. After Vijay’s appointment as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, the filmmaker congratulated him and wished him success in the new chapter of his career.
