Fans to inaugurate a statue for Ilayathalapathy Vijay!

While statues for political leaders and freedom fighters have been making headlines across the length and breadth of the country, here is the latest fad where fans of Vijay have joined hands to install a statue for their icon in the city outskirts. The statue, reportedly constructed with a cost of over 1 lakh, will be inaugurated by fans around 11 am in the premises of Vetri theater, Chrompet.

As Kaththi is busy breaking box-office records on one end, fans are showcasing their love for the actor in a limitless manner on the other end. The statue has Vijay in his Vishwa Bhai get-up from Thalaivaa, a film which ran into political turmoil and eventually got delayed in Tamil Nadu to release. Vijay has also opened up in an award function about how close Thalaivaa is to his heart. And, this decision to choose this particular makeover is a fitting gesture from fans.
