When MS Dhoni And Vijay Met
Back in August 2021, MS Dhoni and Vijay crossed paths at Chennai’s Gokulam Studios. While Vijay was filming Nelson Dilipkumar’s Beast, the cricketer was there to shoot a television commercial. The duo met at Vijay’s vanity van and the picture shared was taken later; it went viral online. Vijay has also been associated with IPL team Chennai Super Kings where Dhoni has been the captain since the inaugural IPL season of 2008.
About Vijay
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay officially took oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on May 10. He won a sweeping victory with 108 seats out of 234. His party, TVK, emerged as the single largest party in the state assembly elections. His last film before stepping into politics was to be Jana Nayagan, which has been embroiled in numerous controversies since the beginning of the year.
As per the latest reports, Jana Nayagan has been granted an A certificate (subject to certain cuts) by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) last week, sources told NDTV.
The edit list is expected to be uploaded on the CBFC website either today or on Monday, while the final certificate is likely to be issued next week. The production is reportedly considering 24 July or 31 July as the film’s release date.
