Phoenix Gets A Flying Start With Thalapathy Vijay’s Heartfelt Support

Just before its theatrical release, Phoenix the debut film of Surya Vijay Sethupathi (son of actor Vijay Sethupathi) received its first and most special review from Vijay.

Vijay watched the film in a private screening and shared his feedback personally with the team creating a decent buzz around the movie.

Directed by stunt choreographer ANL Arasu, Phoenix gained even more attention after Arasu shared a picture with Vijay and Surya, writing, “Bloody sweet! That’s the vibe after Thalapathy Vijay sir watched Phoenix and shared his MERSAL MAXX words! The Phoenix is flying on FIRE now!”

Though Vijay didn’t post a public review his gesture deeply touched Surya. Overwhelmed with emotion Surya reshared the picture and thanked Vijay, writing, “The last hug, the kind words, the warmth, it meant everything. I’ve always looked up to you”.

This moment has become a special memory for the young actor as he steps into the industry.

Thank you @actorvijay sir.
The last hug, the kind words, the warmth and it meant everything. I’ve always looked up to you, and to feel your support on this journey is something I’ll never forget. #ThalapathyVijay ❤️ #Phoenix pic.twitter.com/B8t8EWxukO
