Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief and actor Vijay was among the many prominent figures who visited the residence of veteran producer RB Choudary on Wednesday to pay his last respects.
The veteran producer died in a road accident near Udaipur on Tuesday. His funeral is being held in Chennai today, May 6, with members of the film fraternity and political circles gathering to honour his legacy.
Several videos circulating online captured Vijay arriving at the residence looking visibly emotional. In a heartfelt moment, he placed a large garland on the glass casket and paid his respects. He was then seen leaning onto the casket, overcome with grief.
One of the most moving moments from his visit was when he met RB Choudary's son, actor Jiiva, who appeared inconsolable. Vijay hugged Jiiva and tried to comfort him as the latter broke down. The actor-politician himself struggled to hold back tears during the emotional exchange.
