”Deeply saddened to learn about the passing of DMDK leader and respected film veteran Vijayakanth Ji. Affectionately referred to as the captain, Vijayakanth Ji inspired patriotism among people both through his onscreen and offscreen roles. My heartfelt condolences to his family and admirers. Om Shanti Shanti,” Shah wrote on ‘X’.
The 71-year-old DMDK leader and popular yesteryear Tamil actor died in Chennai on Thursday following illness.
