Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor Vijay found a special way to support his son Jason Sanjay on the release day of his directorial debut, Sigma. During an election roadshow in Madhurandhagam on October 2, Vijay held up a framed photograph of Jason from the film and displayed it to the crowd. The gesture quickly attracted attention online, becoming a widely shared moment from the day.
A video circulating on social media shows a party volunteer handing Vijay the framed picture during the roadshow. Vijay accepted it, raised it above his head and turned it towards the gathering so that people could see the image. The brief interaction offered a glimpse of the Chief Minister’s support for his son’s new professional venture.
Vijay Shows Support for Jason’s First Film
Jason Sanjay has stepped into filmmaking with Sigma, which arrived in theatres on October 2. The film stars Sundeep Kishan and Faria Abdullah in lead roles. Vijay’s gesture came at a time when attention was already focused on Jason’s transition into direction and the release of his first feature film.
Although Vijay was occupied with political commitments, his public display of the film’s framed photograph became a notable family moment. The video drew reactions from fans, many of whom appreciated the father’s gesture and shared the clip across social media platforms.
Jason’s Family Attends First-Day Screening
While Vijay was campaigning in Madhurandhagam, other members of the family attended the film’s first-day-first-show at Kamala Cinemas in Chennai. Jason’s mother, Sangeetha Sornalingam, was present at the theatre, while his sister Divya Saasha showed her support by wearing a Sigma-themed T-shirt. Jason also joined his family for the screening.
Vijay could not attend the premiere screening because of his official and political engagements. Earlier that day, he had launched a free bus travel programme for women in Tamil Nadu before heading to the roadshow.
What Jason Sanjay Said About His Father’s Reaction
Ahead of the film’s release, Jason spoke about how he expected Vijay to respond after watching Sigma. In an interview with Pearle Maaney, he described his father as someone who takes time to think before sharing an opinion.
Jason said he believed Vijay would appreciate the film and feel proud of his work, even if he did not offer an immediate reaction. He also explained that he wanted the film’s promotion to remain focused on the project rather than his father’s popularity.
Jason had previously indicated that keeping Vijay away from the promotional campaign was his own decision. He wanted audiences to approach Sigma as a film in its own right, rather than viewing it primarily through the identity of its director’s family.
‘Sigma’ Marks a New Chapter for Jason
With Sigma, Jason Sanjay has begun an independent journey behind the camera, while Vijay’s roadshow gesture has added a personal dimension to the film’s release. The moment has generated interest not only because of the family connection but also because it highlights the support surrounding Jason’s first major step in cinema.
The film’s theatrical release and Vijay’s unexpected gesture have together made Sigma a talking point among fans and entertainment audiences.
