Thalapathy Vijay hosted the first state convention and rally of his political party, Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) yesterday, October 27. At the grand TVK Maanadu event, the Leo actor addressed his followers and cleared his agenda for the future. While he shared some political views, Vijay also spoke in detail about why he decided to leave cinema at the peak of his career.
The GOAT actor said that he is leaving his career behind for the sake of his people in Tamil Nadu. “I have thrown away the pinnacle of my career, and I have thrown away the salary too… I have come here to be your Vijay with confidence in all of you,” Vijay said in his TVK speech during the state-level conference.
At the event, Thalapathy Vijay also revealed how he was treated during the early days of his acting career. The actor shared that he was made fun of for his body and looks in the film industry. He even had to be embarrassed for the way he walked and the way he styled his hair.
Vijay then said that he never let himself be affected by those comments and grew as an actor. The Leo actor said that he worked hard and waited for every good opportunity to knock at his door. He achieved success on the basis of dedication. Vijay said that instead of getting discouraged by people, he took it as inspiration to work harder.
At the end of his speech, Vijay thanked everyone who came to support him and said, “There will be no differences among us because we are all one. Everyone present here, you all are close to me and my heart.”
He said, “I have come here with a strong mind; there will be no looking back. This is not a gathering for social media. This is a mass gathering, not for cash. People from all over the world are ready to support us.” ,
On the work front, Vijay will start shooting for Thalapathy 69 with actor Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol and others. The film will be directed by none other than H. Vinoth.
