Sai Pallavi revealed in a recent interview that her Amaran and Om director Rajkumar Periasamy is a massive fan of Vijay. Speaking to Behindwoods TV, Sai said that the announcement of Jana Nayagan as the superstar's final film with a promo video, calling it 'One Last Dance,' made her director so emotional. The incident happened when they were on the set of Om, their upcoming film also starring Dhanush, Mammootty, Sreeleela, and Naseeruddin Shah.
"Any big Vijay fan should know him," the actor said about Rajkumar before revealing that she had not seen her director cry in public like that.
Rajkumar supported Vijay not just on the film front but in his political journey as well. After his appointment as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, the filmmaker congratulated him and wished him luck on the journey ahead.
Back then, he wrote on X, "Congratulations to Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, C Joseph Vijay Sir. “C JosephVijay enum naan” echoes still. This rarest feat is a remarkable journey & an inspiration. Best wishes, prayers for glorious progression of TN state in your governance!"
In a different post, the filmmaker shared a photograph where he can be seen embracing Vijay. At the time, he wrote, "A debut that rewrites history; defines legacy. So proud and cheers to the people of TN. Prayers answered!"
Rajkumar won a National Award for Best Director earlier this year for his work in 2024's Amaran, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi. His next film, Om, is set to hit theatres on November 20, Friday. The film stars Sai Pallavi as a police officer looking into a smuggling racket. The specifics of Dhanush and Mammootty's role are yet to be revealed, but the former reportedly plays an undercover officer and the latter portrays a smuggling kingpin.
