Vijay’s daring, metaphor-rich, assertive speech in Tirunelveli

Ilayathalapathy Vijay has been delivering some of the best speeches on many occasions. It all started with the most watched Vijay Awards where he spoke his heart out with an emotional speech on stage. It was followed by another stirring speech at the audio launch of Kaththi. Now, at the 50th day celebrations of the film in Tirunelveli yesterday, Vijay delivered a bold, assertive, metaphor-rich speech which took everyone by surprise.

“One can’t celebrate the success of a goal on his own in a football game. It’s a team work involving eleven members. Meanwhile, there are other eleven members who strive to oppose you. The amount of hardwork we put in is directly proportional to the amount of opposition we face, that’s how life is. ‘Thatti Parippavan Vaazhnthathillai Vittu Kuduppavan Veezhnthathillai nu Solvanga’. I’m not going to ask you guys to follow it. Thattiyum parikatheenga, Vittum Kudukkatheenga. It’s our enemy who decides the weapon we take in our hands. We cannot stand with white flags to the enemy who approches us with the intent to put us do death. Soft ah pesana Soft ah pesanum, vera maari pesana nammalum vera maari pesanum,”said Vijay.
