"Cannot unsee the Flipkart child anymore," an X user quipped, commenting on how Tamil Nadu CM Vijay looked at his first meeting with IAS officers on the state of finances. The actor-turned-politician was a sharply dressed man in a black suit and glasses. The image instantly reminded everyone of the adorable child actors from Flipkart’s classic ads, where kids hilariously assumed adult roles.
The reactions were pure comedy gold. One standout quip declared, “Blud is probably the 5th best actor in the room.” The Jana Nayagan actor looks awkwardly out of place, many suggested. "Vijay is struggling. He is severely suffering from imposter syndrome. The finance meeting video is an unbearable watch," wrote a pro-DMK netizen. "Won’t feel sad anymore that Anna left cinema, because even now every frame of him feels like I am watching a live movie of his," Sa remarked on X.
Suggestions flowed in thick and fast, with users advising him to “lose the blazer, just white shirt with rolled-up sleeves”. Creative jabs compared him to a “chocobar” or an excited toddler in formal wear.
Trolls ridiculed his acting on screen for years. They are now having fun taking a swipe at his demeanour as a politician.
