Nelson Dilipkumar, a filmmaker, recently talked openly about his close friendship with Thalapathy Vijay. This gave fans a rare look into the personal relationship the two have outside of work. At a recent event, Nelson talked about how Vijay stood by him even when things were tough in his career. This only added to the actor's reputation for being loyal and understanding.

Nelson started by talking about a funny part of the invitation to the launch party. He said with a smile, "When Jagadish called me for the launch, the first thing I asked was if they would get the tickets or if I should do it myself." However, the comment quickly turned into a more emotional memory related to Beast, the 2022 action thriller that was Nelson's first movie with Vijay.

Beast came out with a lot of hype, but it got mixed reviews, which put a lot of pressure on the director. Nelson said that even though the movie didn't do well, Vijay still checked in on him often. Nelson said, "He still called me every day to see how I was doing." "I asked him at one point if he was mad at me. He looked at me and asked, "Is a movie what makes me friends with you?" That stuck with me.

Nelson said that Vijay is more than just a coworker to him: "I have a very personal bond with him." "Thalapathy Vijay is like a brother to me." The statement got a lot of applause from fans, many of whom liked how the actor could keep work and personal life separate.

Some critics may have disagreed with Nelson and Vijay's work on Beast, but it showed that they trusted each other. Vijay is said to have let Nelson be creative, supporting his unique dark humor and stylized storytelling. These are the same things that made Nelson famous with movies like Kolamaavu Kokila and Doctor. For Nelson, working with a star like Vijay was a big deal, and even though the movie got mixed reviews, it made their friendship stronger.
