Aatish Praveen, who won the National Award for the Best Child Artiste in Malayalam cinema this year, recently realised his long term dream of meeting actor Vijay.
The young boy, while talking to the media after it was announced that he had won a National Award, had said that what mattered to him more than winning the National Award was meeting Tamil actor Vijay.
When Vijay got to know of the boy's wish, he decided to oblige and sent for him.
Sources say that the boy, along with his mother and some office bearers of Vijay's fans associations in Kerala, flew to Chennai and met Vijay at his residence. The two are believed to have interacted with each other in Malayalam for quite a while.
Vijay is believed to have encouraged the boy to win many more awards and to set new records during the meeting.
