Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party chief Vijay seemed to believe he was in trouble during a recent rally. Videos show him cycling in Kanniyakumari as part of his campaign and panicking after a fan throws petals at him. While the internet thought his reaction was 'meme material', his fans came to his defence.
Vijay was happily cycling on the road and waving to people as his security detail follows him. However, when a fan throws something at him and runs out of the way, Vijay seems to panic. He looks back for reassurance, gets off the cycle, and hustles back to the van.
The fan was trying to shower him with petals, but the actor-politician seemed to have misunderstood it as something dangerous. The police and his security also struggle to control the crowd around his van after he gets in.
Vijay's fans came to his defence, wondering why he reacted the way he did. Some speculated that he may have received a threat briefing from his security detail, while others thought he might have been reminded of a past incident.
Vijay will contest in the upcoming Tamil Nadu elections via his TVK party. His final film, Jana Nayagan, has yet to be released.
