She's My Mom: Vijay Tells Pooja Hegde As Shobha Sings At Jana Nayagan Audio Launch - Video

At the recent audio launch event for Vijay's highly anticipated film Jana Nayagan, a charming moment between the star and actress Pooja Hegde has gone viral, sparking conversations online.

During the event, Vijay introduced his mother, Shoba Chandrasekhar, to Pooja, revealing to her that the woman singing on stage was, in fact, his mother. The moment was captured on video, and Pooja's surprised reaction quickly became a talking point on social media.

Shoba, a well-known singer, impressed everyone with her energetic performance of the song "Kodambakkam Area" from Vijay's 2005 film Sivakasi, in which he danced alongside actress Nayanthara. Her youthful voice and vibrant energy at her age stood out, leaving many fans in awe, and sparking questions about where Vijay got his boundless energy from, even at 50 years old.

The interaction between Vijay and Pooja, however, raised eyebrows, with fans questioning how Pooja, despite working with Vijay in Beast, was unaware of Shoba's identity. Many fans of Pooja found the situation "cute," as it appeared she had no idea who Vijay's mother was. Some, however, criticized her reaction as "fake," asking how she could not know the famous singer. Comments flooded social media, with some fans expressing disbelief that Pooja didn't recognize Shoba, given her prominence in the Tamil film industry.

The video, shared by Zee Tamil, soon became the subject of debate. Vijay's fans, particularly Thalapathy supporters, couldn't help but share their pride for the actor, admiring how supportive and proud he seemed to be of his mother's performance. Meanwhile, others questioned the authenticity of Pooja's surprise, given that she had worked closely with Vijay and even starred in his upcoming movie, Jana Nayagan.

Some fans also wondered if the whole interaction was staged for public appeal. It was a lighthearted moment, but it unexpectedly became a topic of controversy, with critics pointing out that Pooja's lack of recognition felt odd, especially considering her involvement in the film.

In a follow-up discussion, it was revealed that Pooja's role in Jana Nayagan was relatively small, as mentioned by director H. Vinoth. This fueled further speculation about whether she had truly not known who Shoba was or if the interaction was just a playful piece of behind-the-scenes drama designed for social media buzz.

Meanwhile, the film's Jana Nayagan is attracting significant attention for other reasons. It is widely believed that Jana Nayagan is a Tamil remake of the Telugu film Bhagavanth Kesari, which starred Balakrishna and Kajal Aggarwal. Pooja Hegde is said to be playing the same role that Kajal did in the original, sparking more comparisons between the two films.

Fans have also noted similarities in certain scenes, such as a moment where Balakrishna calls Kajal's character "aunty," speculating that this might be replicated in Jana Nayagan. Additionally, some visual elements from Bhagavanth Kesari, such as the black thread around Sreeleela's neck, are reportedly present in Jana Nayagan, raising more questions about the film's similarities to its predecessor.

Overall, the viral moment between Vijay and Pooja Hegde has taken on a life of its own, overshadowing what was meant to be a lighthearted introduction. What was intended as a proud and cute moment between mother and son has quickly become the subject of intense scrutiny, fueling discussions around authenticity, celebrity interactions, and the ever-watchful eyes of film fans.
