Jai calls himself a 100 percent Vijay Anna fan
In a recent interview with Behindwoods, Jai openly spoke about his deep admiration for Vijay and how much the star has influenced him over the years.

Speaking about ‘Kuruvi’, Jai revealed, “I’ve watched Kuruvi at least 12 times.” He also explained that he never watches Vijay’s films only once because he enjoys noticing the actor’s body language, dialogue delivery, expressions, and small performance details. According to Jai, Vijay’s screen presence has always inspired him both as an actor and as a fan.
Jai reacts to comparisons with Vijay’s body language
Jai also addressed the frequent comparisons between his acting mannerisms and Vijay’s style.
