Vijay has a huge fan following down south and recently his fans landed him in a very awkward situation.

In 'Mugamoodi’s' audio launch, a huge chunk of audience was there just to get a glimpse of Ilayathalapathy. As soon as Vijay’s name was announced, the audience started whistling, hooting and shouting his name. The event became really noisy and the crowd went a little out of control.

However, Vijay managed to take control of the situation. In spite of the audience shouting his name, Vijay went ahead to say good words about Jiiva.

"My son Sanjay is a big fan of Jiiva. I am here not only because we have acted together in Nanban, I regularly watch Jiiva’s films and we keep in touch over phone. He is not only a great actor, but also a great human being. Like my son, I am also looking forward to watching Mugamoodi," said the star.

Well, there is a reason as to why he is called Ilayathalapathy.
