The People Are The Kings, I Am You Thalapathi: Vijay At LEO event

The grand success meet of LEO was held last night. Thalapathy Vijay took the event to the next level with his speech.

Vijay began his speech by singing a few lines from ‘Naa Ready’. Singing the lyrics ‘En nenjil Kuiyirukkum, en anbana nanba nanbigal (To those who live in my heart, my friends, brothers and sisters) , he stopped and said ‘I thought it was I who kept you in my heart but it seems it is you who have kept me in your heart instead.’

Vijay got emotional and asked them how he could repay the kindness of fans and said, ‘The one thing I can do is to be true to you till the day I die. You guys are bloody sweet.’

Vijay addressed the ongoing fan wars on social media and he requested them, ‘We don’t need this brothers and sisters, we have a lot of work to do.’

Thalapathy thanked everyone from the LEO crew including Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun. About Trisha, he said, ‘It is not a big deal if a girl becomes a heroine at the age of 20 but it is a whole another deal if she maintains her stardom even twenty years later.’

Vijay recollects movies of Arjun like Gentleman, Sevagan, and Prathap and says he is an ‘Action King forever’. Vijay praised Sanjay Dutt for the number of obstacles he has overcome to achieve what he has achieved is such an inspirational story.

Praising Lokesh Kanagaraj, Vijay says, ‘Next is Hollywood I guess. I am so happy for you man. ‘Vijay thanked Anirudh, stunt choreographers Anbariv, and others before saying, ‘In all the stars that the Tamil cinema has given us over the years, there is only one Puratchi Thalaivar (MGR), there is only one Nadigar Thilagam (Sivaji Ganesan), there is only one Puratchi Kalaignar Captain (Vijaykanth), there is only one Ulaga Nayagan, there is only one Superstar.. just like that, there is only one Thala.’

‘You know what Thalapathi means. It means the commander and commanders serve under a king. You, the people are the Kings and I am your Thalapathi. You command and I will do as you say’, Vijay concluded the speech.
