Nanban fever grips city!

The actor was all smiles as he spoke about his recent success at the box office

It's not Friendship Day but the city of Chennai and Radio Mirchi are celebrating friendship! People are calling up their old friends, nostalgia is in the air and 'nanbans' all over are being remembered – thanks to director Shankar's Nanban that's an ode to friendship!
To celebrate the success of this movie, Mirchi invited to its studio one of its favourite stars, one of the hottest stars and one of its 'nanbans', actor Vijay!
The actor was upbeat about the movie and said that Nanban is a career highlight and director Shankar has brought out the best in him. He said that he thoroughly enjoyed working with Jiiva and Srikanth and that the sets were always full of fun. In a freestyle chat, he shared a lot of lighter moments about his experience with the cast and crew of the film and the biggest compliment that he received!
The Ilayathalapathy said that if not for the role he played, he'd have liked to play Jiiva's role as it was an intense one. He described Jiiva as the proverbial prankster who kept everyone on the sets in splits. He added that he felt touched when his son Sanjay, after watching the film, pulled down his pants and said the 'Thalaiva nee great!' line to him. What's more, Vijay also sang the Askalaska song for listeners on the show!
Sharing his experience of interacting with Vijay, RJ Makapa Anand says, "Most people say that he is very shy. Contrary to that, we found him to totally cool and great fun to be with. He interacted with listeners and spoke freely about his friends. The best part was that he felt a positive vibe whenever he visited our studios! Needless to say, our day was made and he became an even dearer nanban to us."
