Jason Sanjay, son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor Vijay, is gearing up for the release of his directorial debut ‘Sigma’, starring Sundeep Kishan and Faria Abdullah in the lead roles. While the filmmaker has been in the spotlight because of his high-profile family background, a recent moment from the film’s pre-release event has now drawn attention to another key figure who has supported him throughout his maiden directorial venture.
Jason Sanjay’s viral stage moment grabs attention
At the recent pre-release event of ‘Sigma’, lyricist Super Subbu sparked laughter with a light-hearted remark about a man seated in the audience. Pointing towards him, Super Subbu jokingly referred to the man as Vijay’s younger brother Sanjeev and identified him as Jason Sanjay’s paternal uncle. Super Subbu also spoke about Sanjeev’s support for Jason Sanjay during the making of ‘Sigma’, suggesting that he had helped the debutant director with the requirements needed to make a successful entry into cinema. He then drew a humorous comparison between the duo’s equation and the entertaining uncle-and-son dynamic seen in ‘Paruthiveeran’.The remark left the audience in splits, while a video of the moment has since been widely shared on social media, bringing renewed attention to Sanjeev’s role in Jason Sanjay’s journey with ‘Sigma’. It is worth noting that Sanjeev is Vijay’s maternal cousin and the elder brother of actor Vikranth.

The audio launch and pre-release event also offered the cast and crew an opportunity to speak about the film, its music and the journey of bringing the project to the big screen. With the latest viral moment adding to the buzz, interest around Jason Sanjay’s directorial debut continues to grow among Vijay fans and Tamil cinema audiences.
