It was a Thala-Thalapathy meet of a different kind as former
Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kollywood superstar
Vijay met on the sidelines of their shoots on Thursday.
Dhoni is in Chennai as the Chennai team will be leaving for Dubai for the second part of
IPL tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Chennai team's captain als shot for an ad film, directed by filmmaker Krishnan Jayaraj.
The shoot was happening at Gokulam Studios. Interestingly, the shoot of Vijay's Beast is also underway at the same place. Hearing that Dhoni was shooting, Vijay's team were planning on setting up a meet between the two celebrities.
"But before the team could set up a meet, they heard that Dhoni was walking over to meet Vijay. He had apparently heard about Thalapathy shooting in the same studio. The two of them caught up with each other and after exchanging pleasantries, they went inside Vijay's caravan and spoke privately for some time. Given that Vijay was the brand ambassador of the Chennai team in the inaugural edition of IPL, Chennai, cricket and films were some of the stuff that they might have spoken about," says a source.
