Actor Vijay enjoys a good fanbase not just in Tamil Nadu but also in the neighboring states and in the northern states as well. Not to forget the famous Vijay song ‘appadi podu’ being raved by people from Bollywood. Even some of the big B-Town celebrities have come in praise of Ilayathalapathy. Vijay has also made a cameo appearance in Akshay Kumar starrer Rowdy Rathore sometime back.
Similarly the Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan is someone who is loved by the people of Tamil Nadu with all his movies getting admirable response here.
Both Shah Rukh and Vijay have had their share of ups and downs and both cater to a different set of audiences. But isn’t it interesting to know that both the stars have their respective films releases at the same time like on 6 occasions before? With Shah Rukh’s Fan and Vijay’s Theri likely to be released on the 14th and 15th of April respectively (Fan might have special premiers on 14th), it would be the 7th time both the stars have a release at the same time.
