Thalapathy Vijay is back in the spotlight, this time for a cricket‑related token. During a recent visit to Chennai, he met senior officials of MRF and was handed a cricket bat bearing the signature of Indian star Virat Kohli.
The pictures that surfaced show Vijay in a black suit, white shirt and a veshti draped around his neck, holding the autographed bat with a wide grin. The images quickly spread across platforms, drawing attention from both his film fans and cricket enthusiasts.
MRF’s top brass were also in the frame – Chairman and Managing Director K.M. Mammen, Vice Chairman Arun Mammen and Managing Director Rahul Mammen. Their discussion centred on MRF’s operations and upcoming plans in Tamil Nadu, but the bat quickly became the main talking point.
Vijay’s love for cricket is well‑documented. He’s been an outspoken supporter of the Chennai‑based IPL franchise and even served as a brand ambassador during the inaugural IPL season in 2008. His friendly ties with former CSK captain MS Dhoni add another layer to the story, making Kohli’s signed bat a particularly sentimental gift for the actor.
In another viral moment, photos of Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin posing with a special gift have been circulating online, further fueling the buzz around Vijay’s cricket connection.
On the film front, Vijay’s next release is “Jana Nayagan”, directed by H. Vinoth and featuring Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol and Mamitha Baiju. The project has faced delays due to certification hurdles and a recent online leak, yet anticipation remains high.
So, while the bat signed by Virat Kohli has created a fresh wave of attention, it’s just another episode where cinema and sport intersect in Vijay’s public life.
