Impressed with the outcome of his Velayudham, Vijay gifted his technicians


gold chains

It’s no news that Velayudham is one of the most important films in Vijay’s


career. He is going the extra mile to make sure that the film comes out well


and satisfies his fans’ expectations. So, it’s no surprise that the actor gifted all


his chief technicians gold chains when he saw the climax of the film recently.

A source reveals, “Recently, Vijay was shooting a dance number in a set


erected at a mill in the city. During the break hours, director Raja screened the


climax of the film for his team. Vijay, who had earlier seen the film in bits and


portions, was moved when he saw the way the climax had shaped up.

He was close to tears and fought hard to control his emotions. He was moved


by the way Raja and cameraman Priyan had shot the scenes. In a bid to


express his gratitude, he immediately arranged for gold chains, each worth


one sovereign, to be bought. He personally gifted it to his chief technicians.”

Raja explains, “Vijay said this was one of the best climax scenes that he has


ever shot for. He told me that the film has come out way better than what he


expected and it would be visible when the audience sees it. Earlier, he had


called my father (editor Mohan) to tell him how much he loved the film when I


had screened a portion of it. I was waiting for Vijay to tell me his views


directly, but it was really an honour to hear it from my dad.”
