Here’s What Thalapathy Vijay Gifted Anirudh After First Movie
Famous Tamil actor Thalapathy Vijay is preparing to say goodbye to the film industry after his final movie, Jana Nayagan, which is expected to release in January 2026. As fans get ready to celebrate his 51st birthday on June 22, memories from his successful film journey are being remembered. One such special memory was recently shared by popular music composer Anirudh Ravichander.
In a recent interview, Anirudh revealed a thoughtful gift he received from Vijay after their first collaboration on the 2014 film Kaththi. The music of the film became a big hit, and to appreciate Anirudh’s work, Vijay gifted him a grand piano. This was Anirudh’s fourth film as a composer, and the piano has held a special place in his life ever since.
Anirudh showed the piano during the interview and explained how he still uses it regularly. He said that whenever he creates a new tune, he first plays it on that very piano before adding other instruments. He believes that if a tune sounds good on the piano alone, it will sound even better with full musical arrangement.
He also shared that this piano has become a symbol of his early success and a beautiful reminder of his journey in music. For Anirudh, Vijay’s gesture was not just a gift but a lasting token of encouragement and appreciation.
As Thalapathy Vijay prepares to retire from films, such stories highlight the personal bonds he has formed in the industry. Meanwhile, fans continue to admire him not only for his acting but also for his humility and kindness.
To mark Vijay’s upcoming birthday, the producers of Leo released a special video tribute showing his cinematic journey from his debut to Jana Nayagan. The tribute stirred strong emotions among fans, reminding them of how far Vijay has come in his career
