As Vijay stood on the circuit to flag off the race in which Ajith competed, sports commentators tried to explain their stardom to those not in the know. As the camera panned onto Vijay, one commentator said, \u201cThis is C Joseph Vijay. Another, now ex, I think film star, now involved in politics in his home. Another huge star.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then tried to explain their stardom, adding, \u201cSo, think in terms of\u2026if you\u2019re not really understanding what we\u2019ve got here. Think about a part of the world with a massive population and their version of Brad Pitt<\/a>, Tom Cruise<\/a>, in the same place at the same time. That\u2019s what it is.\u201d Another commentator jumped in and said, \u201cYeah, worlds colliding. Brad Pitt has been in a movie recently about Formula 1 cars and Formula 1 championships.\u201d Both expressed hope that a Formula 2 movie would follow, with Ajith as the star, and agreed it would be \u2018quite cool\u2019.<\/p>\n

As soon as a clip of this interaction went viral, fans could not keep calm. \u201cThe elevation given by commentator is best than KGF or other Indian movies,\u201d wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter). \u201cThey don’t know that, he is our Sonny Hayes,\u201d wrote another, referring to Pitt\u2019s character in the F1 <\/a>movie. Numerous others also posted the clip, adding crying and heart emojis to express their happiness at seeing their favourite Kollywood stars compared with Hollywood stars.<\/p>\n
