Will Thalapathy Vijay Celebrate His 50th Birthday Or Skip Celebration Over Kallakurichi Tragedy?

June 22 is a special day for Vijay's fans as they celebrate his birthday. However, this year's celebration might be overshadowed by the hooch tragedy in Kallakurichi district.

Every year, fans across the state commemorate the day by cutting cakes, distributing books and other items, and engaging in charitable activities. The fan organization also conducts social welfare events such as blood donation camps.

This year, the celebration might be dampened by the hooch tragedy, which has claimed over 34 lives. This birthday is particularly significant for the actor and his fans as he turns 50 in 2024.

Nevertheless, Vijay had decided not to celebrate his birthday in 2018, in solidarity with the people of Thoothukudi, where many lives were lost during the Sterlite protests shooting, according to reports.

Similarly, in 2022, the celebrations were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the other hand, the makers of Vijay's upcoming movie 'GOAT' are expected to release the second single for the Venkat Prabhu-directorial film.

Meanwhile, in honor of Vijay's milestone birthday, six of his films are set to be re-released in theaters, marking the first time in India that six movies of an actor are being re-released for a birthday celebration.

The films 'Thuppaki,' 'Master,' 'Pokkiri,' 'Kaththi,' 'Mersal,' and 'Ghilli' will be available in theaters across various locations on his birthday. Fans have taken to social media, using the main hashtag 'Thalapathy 50' to celebrate Vijay's 50th birthday, sharing their favorite moments of the actor.
