Famous actor Rajinikanth interacted with the press and media after honoring the late Vijayakanth, who was laid to rest at Island Grounds. He mentioned, “I was filming in Kanyakumari and had plans to come earlier. It was difficult. There’s a lot to say about Vijayakanth. He was a great friend. Once you became friends with him, you couldn’t forget him.He used to get angry with friends, politicians, and the media, but no one could stay mad at him. There was always a reason behind his anger. When you got close to Vijayakanth, everyone becomes devoted to his love. He was brave and strong. ‘Captain’ was a fitting name for him,”
“I remember when I was sick and unconscious at Ramachandra Hospital, many people disturbed me. Vijayakanth came, and in just 5 minutes, he made sure those causing trouble left. He stayed in a room nearby, promising to take care of anyone bothering me. I can never forget that. Once, during an event in Singapore and Malaysia, fans gathered around the bus. Vijayakanth swiftly cleared the crowd and escorted me. It’s rare to find such a person,”he added.
