Tamil actor and politician Vijayakanth turns a year older, and he’s quite a sensation on YouTube!
Vijayakanth who has been a part of the Tamil film industry since the early 80s is popular for his action star image. Like most larger than life Tamil stars, in 2005, after his film career went through a low, the actor launched his own political party called the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam.
But what brought him under the spotlight are his videos on YouTube.
Vijayakanth’s Yoga Day
First came the Vijayakanth yoga video on World Yoga Day, which saw the actor striking some hilarious poses:
Vijayakanth Searches for Google
Then came Vijayakanth congratulating Sundar Pichai. The video went viral because it seemed a little too obvious that Vijayakanth had no idea what exactly Google is:
Here’s a transcript of what the star exactly said:
One of our boys, a Tamilian named Sundar Pichai.. Google.. If all of you are watching TV, geevee today it is because of Google.. and our man Sundar Pichai ... I appreciate him and I thank him.. and all of you also can and should thank him.. it is your duty as a Tamilian.. I would like to say that with humility.

Vijayakanth Stumps Bill Gates!
Vijayakanth’s ignorance about Google is not surprising, considering that he is seen furiously typing on Windows Media Player in a scene from one of his films:
Holy Bouncing Bullets!
Vijaykanth’s fans and followers, who wish him a long life, have really nothing to worry about. What can go wrong with a man who can bounce a bullet off his chest?
Happy birthday Captain! Keep us entertained.
