When Prabhas watched Thalapathy Vijay's this blockbuster among Tamil fans

Actor Vaibhav Reddy recently made headlines when he shared a surprising anecdote about Thalapathy Vijay’s preference for experiencing movies in a local theatre setting. During promotions for his film The Greatest of All Time, Vaibhav recounted how Vijay chose to watch Telugu superstar Prabhas' Salaar Part 1 at a local Hyderabad theatre. Rather than opting for a private screening or the comfort of a luxury theatre, Vijay wanted to experience the film among fans, sitting in the lower rows to immerse himself fully in the audience's excitement and celebrations.

This story highlights Vijay's deep love for movies and the communal theatre experience, showing that his passion goes beyond his superstar status. Interestingly, Prabhas appears to share this same enthusiasm for watching films with a crowd. Prabhas once revealed that while shooting for his 2013 action film Mirchi in Tamil Nadu, he took the opportunity to watch Vijay’s blockbuster Thuppakki at a local theatre in Pollachi.

While there aren't any videos of Prabhas enjoying Thuppakki in a Tamil Nadu theatre, Vaibhav's recent revelations have sparked the circulation of videos online showing Vijay in a similar setting. In these clips, Vijay can be seen sitting among a crowded audience, his identity concealed only by a face mask. Fans who recognized him respected his privacy and refrained from drawing attention to his presence.

Vaibhav also shared that when he first saw the tickets, he thought there had been a mistake. He never imagined that Vijay, with his reach and influence, would prefer to watch a movie with the general public rather than arrange a private screening at a place of his convenience. Vaibhav mentioned that he declined the offer to accompany Vijay to the Hyderabad theatre, fearing a stampede-like situation if the public discovered the star’s presence.
