Thala Ajith’s Support For Vijay's 'GOAT' Delights Fans, Celebrities Follow Suit

In a surprising and heartwarming gesture, Ajith Kumar, fondly known as Thala, sent his best wishes to Thalapathy Vijay for the release of his latest movie GOAT (Greatest of All Time), which hit the screens on Thursday. The news was revealed by director Venkat Prabhu, who helmed the film, and it instantly became the talk of the town.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Venkat Prabhu expressed his gratitude to Ajith for being the first to wish Vijay and the entire team. "Thank q #Thala #AK my anna for the first wish for @actorvijay na, me and team #GOAT we all love u❤️🤗😘," Prabhu wrote in his post. This rare display of camaraderie between two of Tamil cinema's biggest stars, often considered rivals by their fans, added to the excitement surrounding the film's release.

The news sparked an outpouring of joy among fans, who are used to viewing the two stars as rivals rather than well-wishers. Seeing Ajith extend his support to Vijay has brought a sense of unity and mutual respect that fans of both actors are celebrating.

Meanwhile, GOAT has opened to fairly positive reviews, with audiences praising Vijay's stellar performance. The film's technical brilliance, especially the action sequences, has garnered significant appreciation from fans. Vijay's portrayal of a younger character is being lauded as one of the highlights of his career.

Adding to the celebration, several prominent figures from the Tamil film industry also sent their best wishes for the success of GOAT. Director Atlee, who previously worked with Vijay in blockbuster hits like Theri, Mersal, and Bigil, congratulated Vijay and the team for the film's success. His post on X read, "Congratulations for the Blockbuster Goat From your boys @actorvijay Anna."

Lokesh Kanagaraj, who directed Vijay in Master and Leo, also penned a heartfelt message wishing success for GOAT. He posted, "Wishing you the absolute best for #TheGOAT @actorvijay na.
