The massive turnout highlighted Vijay's influence in Malaysia, which is home to the world's second-largest Tamil diaspora after Sri Lanka.

Speaking at Jana Nayagan, Vijay said he decided to "give up cinema" to "stand up" for the fans who had provided him with everything. He added that his supporters helped build him a "Kottai" (fort).

In Tamil Nadu, the term ‘Kottai’ means a stronghold and also refers to Fort St. George, a British-era fort that houses the state assembly, secretariat, and the chief minister’s office since Independence, Hindustan Times reported.

“When I entered the cinema, I thought I was building a small sand house here. But you all have built me a palace. Fans helped me build a fort… That’s why I’ve decided to stand for them. For the fans who gave up everything for me, I’m giving up cinema itself,” Vijay said.
