Pictures of Vijay and MS Dhoni from the studio were uploaded on Vijay and MS Dhoni’s fan pages.

On Thursday, Tamil superstar Vijay and cricket legend MS Dhoni met in Chennai, causing a stir on the Internet. Are you curious as to why they’re so popular? Because it’s ‘Thala’ MS Dhoni and ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay in one frame, it’s simple. ICYDK, Thala is a Tamil word that means “leader” in English, and it’s how Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans refer to MS Dhoni, the franchise cricket team’s captain since the Indian Premier League (IPL) debuted in 2008. In case you didn’t know, actor Vijay was announced as CSK’s brand ambassador during the 2008 IPL opening event.

Vijay, also known as Thalapathy to his admirers, is a Tamil actor  and MS Dhoni’s (kind of) reunion has sent the Internet into a frenzy. The cricketer was apparently filming a commercial near the Gokulam Studios in Chennai, where Vijay is now filming Nelson Dilipkumar’s Beast, when they decided to meet up.
