Thalapathy Vijay’s family got their first car from a superstar
Mia Walsh
South star Vijay, who is lovingly called Thalapathy, has a big fan following. His father and filmmaker S.A. Chandrasekar (SAC) revealed an interesting thing about the family in a book written on his life. He said that even after directing three films in the 80s, he only had a scooter. One day, he was travelling on the Kodambakkam bridge with wife Shobha and son Vijay. A car stopped in front of them. It was superstar, Jaishankar who asked him to come to his house immediately. Jaishankar insisted that SAC take his car free of cost. But the filmmaker refused his offer. Then the star told him that he could pay him the money whenever he could in the future. He didn't like to see him travel on a scooter with his family.
Later, SAC paid the amount in installments. The car was a red Ambassador with the number 7121.
Thalapathy Vijay will be next seen in Master along with Vijay Sethupathi and Malavika Mohanan, directed by Kaithi maker Lokesh Kanagaraj.
