Thalapathy Vijay: First interview in 10 years, Vijay said, 'There is only one difference between God and father, we can see the father'

Apr 12,2022

Tamil superstar Vijay, who is born to a Hindu mother and a Christian father, has tried to woo his fans by giving an interview just before the release of his film 'Beast'. The film is releasing on Wednesday this week. Vijay's fans have been very angry with the film's music release schedule not being like other films despite the corona epidemic being weak. As the stalwarts of Tamil cinema Rajinikanth and Ajith, Vijay also does not take city tours to promote his films. But, this time due to tough competition from the Kannada film 'KGF 2' at the box office, Vijay also resorted to publicity medium and gave an interview to a TV channel. Vijay had given an interview before this 10 years ago and after the ruckus about that interview, he never gave another interview to the media.

true faith in god

In an interview with South India's leading television network Sun, Vijay talks candidly about his relationship with his father, his views on religion, pre-film promotion interviews, and his son Jason Sanjay. Vijay said, 'I am a true believer in God but I do not only go to church but also bow my head in temples and dargahs', for which Sun Network director Nelson Dilip Kumar of the film 'Beast' took this interview. Sun Pictures, his film arm, is producing Vijay's film Beast, which releases this week. The entire interview was in a way focused on Vijay's brand building.

That's why Vijay stays away from the interview.

In the interview, when he was asked whether his busyness is the reason behind not giving your interview, Vijay said, 'It is not so. I also have time to give an interview but it happened 10 years ago and the matter got worse. I had given an interview and I realized that my point of view was not conveyed properly. I didn't like this. Even my family members raised questions about this. Then I called the person and said that I did not mean to say that which has been removed. And, I can't do this every time. So that's why I stay away from giving interviews.

Music release function of 'Beast'

Like Tamil superstars Rajinikanth and Ajith, Vijay is rarely seen promoting his films. But, he comes to the music release function of his films. This time his fans were very disappointed when the music release program of the film 'Beast' did not happen. It is believed that this conversation between Vijay and Nelson is an attempt to pacify this anger. The entire interview was designed to be a tribute to Vijay and director Nelson didn't ask his hero anything that could be a journalist's question.

'Take it easy, make it easy'

In response to a question, Vijay said, 'My family keeps complaining about my face posture that they do not know anything from my expressions. I also get angry sometimes but I avoid reacting on such occasions. I think most of our problems are due to decisions taken in anger. I follow the policy of 'Take it easy, make it easy. Then seeing this form of him, all the people present there were stunned.

'We can see the father'

Responding to a question about his father, filmmaker S A Chandrasekhar, Vijay said, "There is only one difference between God and a father and that is that we cannot see God while we can see the father." But insisted that despite the recent souring in their relationship, he still believes in his father as much. Vijay also spoke openly about his religious beliefs during this period.

'I am a man of trust'

On the issue of going to church during the shooting of the film 'Beast' in Georgia, Vijay said, 'I am a man of trust. I go to church. I have been to temples and also visited Amin Peer's dargah during the shooting of 'Thupakki'. I have felt divine in all these places. My mother is Hindu and my father is Christian. Both fell in love and they would get married. I grew up in a house where no one ever told me where to go and where not to go. I teach the same to my children.

no pressure on son

On a question asked about Vijay's son Jason Sanjay, Vijay said that his son should follow in his footsteps, it is his wish. But he will never pressurize her to enter the film industry. He disclosed, 'Director Alphons Puthran once expressed his desire to meet me. I felt that he wanted to tell me a story, so I gave him time. But he had come intending to tell the story to Sanjay. It was a very love story. I thought to myself that Sanjay should say yes to this. But he said he just wanted a few more years. I didn't put any pressure on him.
