As actor-politician Thalapathy Vijay celebrated his 51st birthday on June 22, 2025, fans across the globe flooded social media with tributes, artworks, and fan-made videos to honour the Tamil superstar. While the internet buzzed with excitement, all eyes were eagerly waiting for the birthday post from his beloved co-star and long-time friend, actress Trisha Krishnan. And she did not disappoint.
On Sunday night, Trisha took to social media and shared a touching birthday tribute that has now gone viral. Her post featured a candid photograph of Vijay playing with her newly adopted pet dog, Izzy Krishnan, while she watched them with a warm, affectionate smile. She captioned the post simply: “Happy Birthday bestest 🤗🧿”, melting the hearts of fans who have cherished the Vijay-Trisha camaraderie for decades.
The adorable image sparked a flood of comments and admiration, with fans praising the genuine bond the duo share. Many hailed it as the most meaningful and awaited post of the day. Known for her subtle yet heartfelt gestures, Trisha’s annual birthday wishes for Vijay have become a cherished ritual for fans over the years.
Vijay and Trisha are considered one of the most iconic on-screen pairs in Tamil cinema. From the electrifying action of Ghilli to the emotional resonance of Leo, the two have shared unforgettable chemistry on screen. Their collaborations include fan-favourite films such as Thirupaachi, Aathi, and the recent cameo-packed The Greatest of All Time, where they danced together in the catchy track “Matta.” Their cinematic pairing has consistently struck a chord with audiences, making every reunion a moment of celebration.
While the birthday celebrations unfolded, the day also marked a pivotal moment in Vijay’s career. The first glimpse of his much-anticipated final film, Jana Nayagan, was officially unveiled. Directed by H. Vinoth, the action-packed teaser showcases Vijay in a powerful avatar as a police officer — a symbolic role as he prepares to step away from acting and transition fully into politics.
Jana Nayagan, which translates to “The People’s Leader,” is slated for a grand theatrical release on January 9, 2026, just in time for the Pongal festival. Fans are already buzzing with excitement over the teaser, praising its intensity and Vijay’s commanding screen presence. The film is being projected as a fitting farewell to his illustrious acting journey, with emotional stakes running high both on-screen and off.
As Vijay’s political journey gathers momentum, his 51st birthday served not only as a celebration of his stardom but also as a reflection of the legacy he has built — one that blends entertainment, integrity, and immense public connection.
And while he readies himself for the next chapter, moments like Trisha’s heartfelt birthday post serve as reminders of the deep bonds and beautiful memories that Vijay has created over the decades — both with colleagues and fans.
