Why did Vijay meet Modi?

Ilayathalapathy Vijay met Narendra Modi in Coimbatore yesterday, April 16th, 2014. The BJP’s prime ministerial candidate expressed his wish to meet the star, which culminated into the meeting.

Modi met Superstar Rajinikanth in Chennai during his visit to the city and stated that it was a courtesy call and the meeting with Vijay is also reported to be on the same lines.

Vijay is reported to have said that it was a proud moment for him to have met the politician. In a press note he had stated: “I’m happy that a great leader like Guruji Narendra Modi invited an ordinary person like me for a meeting. When Narendra Modi was in Chennai, he expressed his wish to meet me but I couldn’t make it possible as I was shooting in Hyderabad.. After Narendra Modi’s Chennai visit, he wished to meet me in Coimbatore and it was an apolitical meeting where we discussed purely about cinema… Narendra Modi is very humble and polite in his speech, it is indeed a great pleasure to meet the respectable  leader of our country.”
