Thalapathy fans would surely know that Vijay has one of the longest running connections with Mahesh Babu. The actors share a friendly bond that they did a lot of movies featuring the same script in Telugu and Tamil at the same time.

Pokiri and Gilli are topmost examples but the connection is much bigger than this right now. Music director Harris Jeyaraj commented that Spyder for Mahesh Babu is just like Thuppaki for Vijay, a worthy title in Kollywood that will stand the test of time.
