Actor-politician and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay recently met Lance Naik Meenatchi Sundaram, who was awarded the prestigious Kirti Chakra for his courage in the line of duty. During the meeting, Vijay honoured the soldier with a cheque of Rs 48 lakh in recognition of his service to the nation. Meenatchi Sundaram, who belonged to the 34 Rashtriya Rifles, was wounded by bullets during an anti-terrorist activity in Kulgam, South Kashmir, in December 2024. Despite his injuries, he continued fighting, earning praise across the country and receiving the award from President Droupadi Murmu earlier this month.

‘Jana Nayagan’ faces delay in release
On the professional front, Vijay’s much-awaited film ‘Jana Nayagan’ is yet to hit theatres. The film had originally been planned to come out some time ago; however, the movie has been delayed on account of several problems during certification. The movie had to go to the revising committee after objections arose regarding its certification. To make matters worse, there was a leak of the HD copy of the film in April, which resulted in several arrests. Nonetheless, fans are still looking forward to watching the film that may turn out to be Vijay’s last one before he enters politics.
