When the celebrity actress Trisha Krishnan stepped aside to attend Vijay’s high-profile oath ceremony in Chennai, she was joined by a massive line of fans and supporters as they crowded in.
And then for the videos on Trisha's attempts to make sense of things as fans flocked around her, snapping photos and videos, a quick glimpse of her, following the ceremonies.
Within minutes, the audience and guards rushed quickly past the site to escort the actress safely past the jam-packed building. Trisha and her crew struggled to walk through the stands, some fans apparently sprinting in the centre of the line, excited about the experience.
Trisha had already been in the crowd, and amongst the noise, she continued to be high-headed and followed the security guards around. She did and, with that, allegedly took part in the spectacle for the surge of movie stars and public figures after Vijay’s swearing-in, which drew thousands, if not billions, of followers to their Instagram and news.
The oath ceremony has become a great political moment for Vijay, called "Thalapathy" in Tamil Nadu, but in cinematic form, he metamorphoses and is recognised as a leader to an ideal person in Tamil Nadu, changing his status from film hero to a more people talking about him in Tamil Nadu politics.
The mobbing of Trisha in video clips turned into viral hits, where followers flooded across social media. Many people hailed it as a success due to the actress’s popularity and seeming poise. Trisha and Vijay were movie stars of Tamil cinema, and used to be popular for many years.
The appearances of the movie, such as festivals or shows, created a buzz of fans who were there in their usual way. The actress’s presence at the ceremony also helped to draw attention to the event.
Several South Indian film stars were in attendance on the swearing-in, with record sets and large preparations (and a lot more) to maintain the political optics.
And now, the viral videos have gone viral on the internet too: fans talking about Trisha’s look and Vijay’s pivotal political performance and the way the public reacted to the ceremony, and after.
