Tamil star Vijay, fondly called as 'Thalapathy' by people, enjoys a huge fanbase all around South India and is also celebrated by Tamils around the globe.

The 'Bigil' star's 46th birthday falls on June 22. His birthday is usually celebrated with zest and vigour. Notwithstanding, there are social welfare activities too that feature in the agenda.

The extraordinary situation this time around has made Vijay take a call that his birthday this year should be solely focused on welfare activities for the coronavirus affected people and not on erecting banners or cutouts.

This move is hailed on social media as a responsible move by the star, given the anxious-grip of the contagion.

On the work front, Vijay awaits his 'Master' release that was planned for April 9 which got pushed farther to Diwali due to obvious reasons. The film is bankrolled by XB film creators and 7 screen studios.

Fans who are disappointed with the uncertainty are a bit consoled as the 'Master' team members in various interviews have hinted at a 'treat' for Vijay fans on his birthday.
