‘Kutty Story’ incident: How Vijay prepared voters with his audio launch speeches

“I will work sincerely for people from all walks of life,” the hero said, extending his hands, before raising one and clenching it into a fist, “I solemnly affirm, swearing in the name of God.” Before you mistake this for a scene from a Tamil film – the occasion was actually cinematic in a way – this was the moment Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam chief C Joseph Vijay takes oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu On May 10 at a packed Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai. Everything about the superstar-turned-politician’s journey has been a blockbuster. Yet, social media especially took note of how Vijay displayed the artiste in him during the swearing-in ceremony. If that wasn’t enough, what happened after the oath must have reminded fans of his cinema persona, especially for those who were struggling with the idea that they would no longer get to see him on the big screen.

of victory dramatic speech It reminded everyone of the many speeches he has given over the years at the audio launch functions of his films, many of which were held at the same venue. “En Ninjil Kudi Irukkam Ungal Anaivarukkam En Vanakkam,” the star began, as he had done many times, prompting applause from the crowd.

Vijay’s speeches have always been well organized. Charismatic, yes. But these events also allow them to be equally concerned. Although they appear suddenly, they all follow them to inspire their fans and promote the film, as well as increase their audience base later on.

These speeches have also offered an in-depth view of a star who has otherwise been reticent. In some cases, he has given insight into his personality: “I have an emotional side, which even people close to me say I should open up to the world about. But I don’t. Maybe it’s a manufacturing defect,” he said before the release. Animal. He often uses these venues to discuss how he sees life, winning, and his career in cinema. And there have been countless occasions when he has faced criticism during his journey, something he has said pulleyHe uses it as “petrol that fuels him, but not as embers that will destroy him”.

Even the storytelling propensity will be visible in how Vijay praises his colleagues in his speeches. “I used to watch wildlife shows on the Discovery Channel, and in those shows, when a tiger is on a hunt, he chooses a prey from his pack and pursues it with all his might.” Wonder why he was telling this story before release. theri? “If that hunt is ‘Jeet’, then producer Kalaipuli S Thanu is the relentless tiger in pursuit.”

Taking to the stage during the promotion of MersalVijay advised his fans to ‘ignore the negativity’, an advice which has since become a staple in his speeches and is widely regarded as the star’s appeal to stop online fan wars. “Won’t life become boring if everyone likes us? Only if some people don’t like us will life seem entertaining and exciting.” His most forceful argument against fan wars came during the audio launch BigilIn which he narrated a story about former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MG Ramachandran, whose ideal Vijay often mentions in his speeches. “I once heard a story about MGR. He was campaigning during which a minister from his party, in an attempt to praise MGR, kept belittling Kalaignar (former chief minister MK Karunanidhi). MGR got so upset and said, ‘I have a lot of political differences with Kalaignar, but he is a very big political leader. You shouldn’t talk about him like that,’ before snubbing the minister and leaving on the way. So He knew how to respect even his rivals.” And perhaps this is the respect that Vijay is showing his political rivals; On May 11, a day after he became Chief Minister, Vijay congratulated his four political opponentsThat includes former chief minister MK Stalin, son of the late Karunanidhi – a gesture that even his opponents have acknowledged as a welcome change.

It is also possible that he may not see them as his competition. While he has mentioned his rival in cinema Ajith Kumar on a few occasions, he famously said at the audio launch who he considers his rival. heir: “In the 1990s, a hero emerged as my competitor. Afraid of him and his success, I also started running and developed myself. Wherever I went, he also followed me. And he was the reason for me reaching this level. In an attempt to surpass him, I kept working hard and kept competing with him. You all should also have such a competitor. That competitor entered the film industry in 1992. His name was Joseph Vijay Was.”

Vijay has always been a star who has achieved tremendous success among the youth of Tamil Nadu and the speaker in him has always addressed the youth in the language they find attractive. “Whether it be”Usupethravan Kitta Ummunam, Kadupethravan Kitta Gammunam Irundha, Vaazhakai Jammunu Irukkumam,” which will lose its essence in translation, or “Kill them with your success. Bury them with your smile,” These parts of his speeches also contain some of the star’s punchlines which have become trends over the years. ”I gave an interview about 10 years ago which was misrepresented by the media. So I decided to stop giving interviews. Instead, I started collecting my thoughts and speaking them out loud at these audio launches,” Vijay once opened up.

However, all that said, the biggest highlight of Vijay’s speeches are the morality tales he tells to his audience as ‘Kutty Stories’, meant to creatively drive home a point. Be it the story of Chinese revolutionary Mao or talking about humility theri), or about a flower shop employee who gets a job at a firecracker factory (Bigil), or a brother who explains what affection means for his sister (heir), these stories so enthralled his audiences that Anirudh Ravichander even composed a song about it Owner. And one thing he has always repeated while giving advice: if they are useful take them, if they are not useful leave them. Something that even became a lyric in the song ‘Kutty Story’: ‘Let me tell a Kutthi story, pay attention, listen to me. Take it if you want, otherwise leave it, no need to worry baby…life is too short my friend. Always be happy.”

kutti stories of speeches Bigil And Government Both hinted, not so subtly, at his eventual political move. since a Government Spoke against corruption and how people in power should take up the responsibility of a corruption free society.

In these speeches, Vijay has always praised, validated and empowered his fans and the activities of his social welfare organisation, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam. before the release of heirHe appreciated his fans for participating in his blood donation initiative, saying, “Blood is something that does not see caste, creed, class or religion.” Appreciating him for his social services leo At the success meet, the star took inspiration from MGR to formulate his vision for the future. “Many, many years ago, when AVM Saravanan of AVM Productions gave a Rs 100 note to an old lady, she blessed him, saying, ‘May you live long, MGR.’ So, at that time, people assumed that whoever did good to them was MGR. That was his name. I am not comparing myself. But I have a small wish. In the future, whenever someone does good work, I would like it to be done by our boys.

Before mentioning the importance of prison reforms pulley Apart from mentioning the death of Chennai-based engineer Subhashree when an illegal hoarding fell on her, Vijay has also often used these platforms to raise his voice on social issues. During an exclusive pre-release interview he gave Animal Director Nelson – When the COVID-19 pandemic halted all possibilities of a public event – ​​Vijay drew attention to the death of an 11-year-old boy in a shooting incident at a shooting range in Pasumalaipatti. Vijay suggested, “A similar incident took place in Perambalur. These ranges were located outside the city, but due to the expansion of these towns, they are now in or near residential areas. So we should relocate these ranges, or use computer-simulated training exercises.” In 2015, when serial piracy of the latest releases threatened Tamil cinema, Vijay took a stand against piracy in his speech. pulley.

Just earlier today the Chief Minister announced 717 TASMAC wine shops closed Be located within 500 meters of educational institutions and places of worship across the state within two weeks. Listen to what he said in his speech during this time leo Meeting of success. Citing this as an example of how audiences should take the best from their films and ignore the rest, he said, “There are liquor shops on the way to schools and colleges too, but that does not mean that students drink alcohol before going to their classes. They know what to take and what to ignore,” which reflects his dislike towards the location of some of TASMAC’s shops.

He strongly hinted at his political entry before the release of GovernmentClaiming that it is natural for a leader to emerge from a crisis, “like how it rains when there is moisture,” and that a government under that leader would be the real government. In 2024, when asked what 2026 holds for him, the star replied, “kap’u mukkiam bigil’u“A dialogue from his film BigilTo suggest his entry into electoral politics.

It is now 2026, and the Cup has reached Bigil.
