KKR’s Varun Chakravarthy has fanboy moment with actor Vijay, see viral pic

Tamil Nadu boy Varun Chakravarthy, who played for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL), had a fanboy moment with Tamil actor Vijay. Varun met his matinee idol at the latter’s office in Chennai recently and he was extremely delighted to share the news on his Twitter handle.

Varun, a mystery spinner, had a dream season in this year’s IPL with one five-wicket haul to his credit. He even got the wicket of Mahendra Singh Dhoni during a match with Chennai Super Kings. He was even picked for the national side for the upcoming Australian tour but was later dropped due to a shoulder injury.

In several of his interviews, Varun expressed admiration and love for Vijay, also known as Thalapathy by his fans. Apparently, Vijay’s manager set up for a meeting after a special request from Varun to meet his idol.

Varun took to Twitter to share the picture. Quoting the lyrics of a song from Vijay’s forthcoming release Master, he wrote: “Ulla vandha powera-di, Anna yaaru? THALAPATHY.. (sic)."

Varun’s tweet has gone viral with over 19,000 retweets and nearly 75,000 likes.

Master, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, stars Vijay as John Durairaj, a college dean and undercover cop who is addicted to alcohol.

The film, which also stars Malavika Mohanan, Shanthanu Bhagyaraj and Andrea Jeremiah, has been produced by Xavier Britto. It marks the maiden collaboration of Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj.

If everything goes as planned, Master will be released in theatres on Pongal 2021. The makers recently clarified that the film won’t be released on any OTT platform.
