Chennai: Former India captain MS Dhoni recently met actor Vijay in Chennai. They were both at a studio for their respective shooting schedules. Indian Premier League (IPL) team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), posted a picture of the two celebrities together on their Instagram account. CSK captioned the post, ‘Master and the blaster.’ Master was a blockbuster opener in January this year thanks to Vijay, while Dhoni is fondly called the ‘blaster’ by his fans because of his devastating batting.
More than 4 lakh likes were received for the caption of the Instagram post and it also appeared to a play on the song ‘Master the Blaster’ featuring Vijay from the movie. The superstar was shooting for his next movie ‘Beast’ when Dhoni ran into him.
CSK also shared the snap on its Twitter account.
As CSK captain, Dhoni is highly popular in Tamil Nadu and enjoys a massive following like Vijay. His fans call him ‘Thala’, which means leader in Tamil while Vijay is referred to as ‘Thalapathy’, a title that means leader or commander
