In wake of the Deepavali festival, fans of actor Vijay have been giving new clothes and sweets to the less than fortunate in Theni district of Tamil Nadu.
Vijay fans have been rendering all sorts of social service through Vijay Makkal Iyakkam. In the same breath, they distributed new clothes and sweets to the underprivelged in Theni district.
When the fans came to know of a cobbler who couldn’t afford new clothes for the festival, they came together and gave the cobbler and his family, new clothes and sweets.
Not just the cobbler, they distributed Deepavali gifts to the less than fortunate in the neighbourhood of the poor cobbler.
A lot has been going on in Thalapathy Vijay’s life even if he doesn’t have a theatrical release anytime soon. Recently, the actor’s dad SA Chandrasekhar, had registered Vijay’s fan outfit as a political one - Thalapathy Vijay Makkal Iyakkam. Soon enough, the actor issued a statement saying that he has nothing to do with the party registered in his name and warned that action would be taken against those using his name for such activities.
He had also just recently met with about 50 of the 200 district secrataries of his Makkal Iyakkam. Now, the new office bearers have been announced by way of a press statement which also lists that Vijay’s face and other promotional material can't be used without due permission from the office bearers.
