Thalapathy Vijay Stumbles at Chennai Airport Amid Fan Frenzy, Announces Retirement
Chennai, India – Actor and Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) President Thalapathy Vijay tripped and fell at Chennai International Airport on Sunday night upon his return from Malaysia. The incident occurred as a large crowd of fans swarmed him, eager to welcome him back. Security personnel quickly helped him up and escorted him to his vehicle. Vijay sustained no injuries in the fall, but video of the incident quickly went viral on social media.
Vijay was returning from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where he attended the audio launch of his upcoming and now announced to be final film, “Janayakkan.” The audio launch drew an estimated 100,000 attendees at Bukit Jalil Stadium, and has been recognized by the Malaysian Book of Records for the largest audience at an audio launch in the country.
During the event, Vijay made a significant announcement regarding his future, revealing his intention to step away from acting and focus on public service. “When I came into cinema, I thought I was building a small house of sand. But you all built a palace for me. You built a fort for me. For those fans who have left everything for me, I am leaving cinema myself,” he stated to the audience.
The announcement marks the end of a 33-year acting career for Vijay, who began as a child actor at the age of 10 in the Tamil film “Vetri” and debuted as a lead actor in 1992 with “Naalaya Theerpu.”
“Janayakkan,” directed by H. Vinoth, is slated for a Pongal 2026 release.
