The recent emotional moment between Vijay and Jiiva after the demise of veteran producer R. B. Choudary has once again reminded fans of their long friendship. Even though rumours suggested Vijay could not attend due to his busy political schedule, the actor personally visited Jiiva’s family to pay his respects. Videos of Vijay consoling an emotional Jiiva and hugging him quickly went viral on social media. Fans were deeply touched by the genuine affection between the two stars, who have shared a close bond for many years.
When Jiiva called Vijay his brother
In an old interview with Galatta, Jiiva openly spoke about his friendship with Vijay and called him “an elder brother from another mother.” Jiiva revealed that their families became close because of the many films produced under the Super Good Films banner. “We have done seven to eight films with him. We share a great bond,” Jiiva said during the interview. He also shared a sweet memory from the sets of Leo, where Vijay reportedly told director Lokesh Kanagaraj that he enjoyed acting in Nanban because of Jiiva’s company on the sets.
Jiiva once revealed what makes Vijay special
During the same interview, Jiiva also explained why he admires Vijay so much. According to him, Vijay’s calm and balanced nature is something everyone should learn from. “No matter how happy or sad he is, Vijay handles everything very calmly,” Jiiva said. The actor added that Vijay never lets emotions affect the people around him and always carries himself peacefully. These comments once again started trending online after Vijay’s recent visit to console Jiiva. Fans are now recalling how their friendship has stayed strong both on and off screen over the years.
R. B. Choudary played a big role in Vijay and Jiiva’s journey
Veteran producer R. B. Choudary played an important role in shaping the careers of both Vijay and Jiiva. Productions under his banner include hit movies like ‘Poove Unakkaga,’ ‘Love Today,’ ‘Shahjahan,’ ‘Thirupaachi,’ and ‘Jilla’ with Vijay. In addition, Vijay and Jiiva starred alongside each other in the movie ‘Nanban’ directed by Shankar.
