Ilayathalapathy Vijay has a crazy fan following in Kerala. He is pehaps the most popular non-Malayali actor in the state. Unlike his peers his fan following is not just limited to the youngsters but also to the kids, families and even celebrities. Recently, actress Prayaga Rose Martin admitted to being a big fan of Vijay.

Prayaga Martin, who started off her career as a child artist in Mohanlal’s Sagar Alias Jacky, is now an established actress with a handful of films in her kitty. She is playing the female lead in Sunny Wayne’s Pokkiri Simon: Oru Kaduththa Aaraadhakan, a movie based on the life of a hardcore Vijay fan. Sunny Wayne plays the titular role and Prayaga will be seen as his pair.

Just like her character in the movie, Prayaga is a big Vijay fan in real life too. In a recent interview, the actress revealed her admiration for Vijay and Tamil cinema. She is quoted saying, “I really like watching Vijay’s films. The energy we get while watching a good Vijay film is something unexplainable. Even if you are not Vijay fan, the energy while watching his films is truly on another level. Not just Vijay, I like many other actors in Tamil. The prime reason why I like Tamil movies and the actors is how they are in stark contrast to the Malayalam industry. I enjoy their loud beat songs (dappankuthu) and action scenes.”

Prayaga will be next seen in Dileep’s Ramaleela, release of which is temporarily shelved due to the lead actor’s arrest. Her last movie Viswasapoorvam Mansoor, directed by PT Kunju Muhammed tanked at the box office.
