Vadivelu thanks meme creators for keeping him relevant

The Income Tax Department office complex in Nagercoil, Kanyakumari, recently hosted the inauguration of a newly established service center. Renowned comedian Vadivelu was the chief guest for the event and officially opened the center. During the ceremony, he addressed the gathering and emphasized the importance of income tax, highlighting its role in the nation’s development. His presence at the event drew a lot of attention, as fans and officials alike were excited to see him take part in such a public initiative.
Following the event, Vadivelu interacted with the media and took a moment to express his gratitude to meme creators for keeping him relevant among audiences across generations. According to Nakkheeran, he humorously acknowledged their role in keeping his dialogues and expressions alive in pop culture. "Meme creators have ensured that I remain a part of everyday conversations. No matter what the situation is, people connect my dialogues and expressions to it. Even when they feel down, they use my comedy to lighten the mood. It makes me proud that my work continues to bring joy to people, and for that, I wholeheartedly thank them," he said. His remarks further reinforced how deeply his work has been embedded in Tamil pop culture.
When asked about his return as a lead actor in films, Vadivelu responded with wisdom and humor. "Even legendary actors like MGR, Sivaji, Rajini, and Kamal have faced failures. Success isn’t constant. Some films work, and some don’t—that’s natural. Nowadays, people watch half the movie on their phones. Then how can we expect films to run successfully in theaters? Everyone should support cinema by watching films on the big screen," he stated. His comment resonated with many, as it reflected the ongoing challenge faced by filmmakers and actors in the digital era.
On the work front, Vadivelu was last seen in 'Chandramukhi 2' and he failed to make an impact with the horror thriller. However, with his continued presence in Tamil cinema, Vadivelu remains a beloved icon whose influence transcends generations.
