There's a point where a framed photo of MGR appears to speak to the protagonist, Thalapathy Vetri Kondan, and even hands him a whip to take on the antagonists, including Prakash Raj's character.
Many found these sequences heartwarming and have drawn comparisons between Vijay's on-screen political journey and MGR's legacy.
However, this is not the first time CM Vijay has acknowledged MGR on screen. Over the years, he has included references to the iconic leader in several of his films and has also paid tribute to him during political events.
After entering politics through Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), he also promised to follow the people-centric path associated with MGR and other Dravidian leaders.
