Vijayakanth Death: The news of Vijayakanth's demise has resonated deeply, with both fans and celebrities expressing the irreplaceable void his passing has left. The actor, who breathed his last at the age of 71 on Thursday morning, was not only recognized for his philanthropy but also for his role in nurturing emerging talent within the Tamil cinema industry. Among the many individuals whose journey in the film world commenced under his guidance is actor Sonu Sood who remembered him during an interaction with a media portal.

In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Sonu Sood said, “Vijayakanth is one of the finest actors and the nicest people I’ve ever worked with.” He further added, “There’s a fight scene in the climax between us and I needed not just to build my body but also train for it. I asked for a month’s time and Vijayakanth willingly stopped shooting for me. I put on weight for the climax and stayed in Chennai for a month to train. I would train with three fighters at Marina Beach every single day.”

Stating that he owes his success to the late actor, Sonu Sood said, “We shot the climax sequence at the Botanical Gardens. I am a trained fighter today because he let me take my time to get the sequence right and let me learn. He told me the film will do wonders for me and he was right. I owe everything to Vijayakanth because he introduced me to the film industry.”
