Chennai, April 6: In a unique initiative, popular Tamil film actor Vijay pedaled his way to a polling booth to cast his vote in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections today.

Vijay came to the booth by riding a bicycle, even as his fans toed him in two-wheelers. Vijay’s move has sparked a debate in social media as to whether he is apparently referring to the growing increase in the prices of petrol and diesel.
