The shooting of Vijay’s upcoming film GOAT is progressing at a brisk pace in Chennai, where the actor surprised his fans with a sweet gesture. Vijay stepped out of the sets and greeted his admirers with his charming smile and a selfie.

The selfie and the heartwarming moment have gone viral on social media, creating a buzz around the film.

GOAT, directed by Venkat Prabhu and composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, is produced by AGS Entertainment. The film has a stellar ensemble cast that includes PrabhuDeva, Prashanth, Sneha, Laila, Meenakshi Chowdry, Ajmal, Mic Mohan, Jayaram, Yogi Babu, VTV Ganesh, Vaibhav, Premji, Aravind Akash and Ajay Raj.
