But a hero is different. If you fight against injustice and do good for people on screen, people will believe you will do the same in real life, too. That belief is what makes a hero. Even you will not know how high people will place you. This is 60 years of cinema mixed with politics.”)The emotional dialogue and Arivazhagan’s message quickly went viral on social media. Many fans said the lines perfectly matched Vijay’s real-life political journey. Supporters also pointed out how Vijay earned people’s trust over the years through his films and public image.
