An Indian soldier named Tamil Selvan hailing from Theni near Madurai in Tamil Nadu had come down to his hometown for vacation few days back.
After tensions shot up at the India-Pakistan border, he has now been called back for duty. Tamil Selvan, who joined the army in 2002 and has been serving for 17 years now, happens to be an ardent fan of actor Vijay and was en route to resume his duty by heading to Kashmir.
Upon hearing the news, the Theni district Vijay Makkal Iyakkam chief, ‘Left’ Pandi’ was informed about Tamil Selvan’s sudden departure, who then interacted with VMI’s treasurer, Bussy Anand and arranged for a conversation over phone with ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay.
During their interaction, Vijay had encouraged Tamil Selvan saying, “Please do not worry about anything. Nothing will happen to you. You will come back with glory and success. Once you come back, I shall meet you for sure.”

After their conversation, Tamil Selvan is said to have been in high spirits and filled with elation. Furthermore, the Indian soldier requested saying that in the event of unfortunate circumstances, he wanted a photograph of his to be taken with Vijay.
He concluded saying on his Facebook page that he would get a photograph taken with ‘Thalapathy’ if he returns successfully from his line of duty at Kashmir.
A commendable and admirable gesture from Vijay!
