Tense moments unfolded at Madurai Airport on Monday when a fan broke through security to approach Tamil superstar "Thalapathy" Vijay. The situation escalated quickly when one of Vijay's bodyguards pulled out a gun and pointed it at the elderly fan, mistaking him for a threat. The incident occurred while Vijay was returning from Kodaikanal after wrapping up a schedule for Jana Nayagan, his much-anticipated final film before he steps into politics full-time.
A video of the episode has since gone viral on social media, showing Vijay arriving in a black car, flanked by a convoy, and waving to an excited crowd of fans gathered outside the terminal. The elderly fan, who bypassed security and got within arm's reach of the actor, later said, "A gun was aimed at me for the protection of Thalapathy Vijay. But even if I had been shot at that moment, I would have happily taken it for my Thalapathy." This unexpected encounter has sparked discussions around celebrity security protocols and the devotion of fan culture in South India.
Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth, is slated for a grand Pongal release on January 9, 2026. The film features a star-studded cast, including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and Prakash Raj.
