As a result, the 44-year old has been cautiously taking up the scripts and ensures that his films do not send wrong messages to the people. This quality has earned him love and respect from the Tamils across the globe which reflects at the box office collections of his films.

Now, a question related to his film is featured in the General Knowledge examination in Tamil.

The question - "Who is named the Best Actor at the International Achievement Recognition Awards for the year 2018" – is published along with the answer – "Mersal." The pictures of the question are being shared by Vijay fans on social media sites and read can see it below:
