Vijay says he doesn’t like being labeled as a pan-India star

Vijay who is currently promoting his Hindi web series Farzi which stars Shahid Kapoor spoke in detail about being called a Pan-India star. He said, “No, sir; I work as an actor. With that Pan-Indian statement, I don't feel comfortable. Pressure can also be produced by it at times. There is no need to label me; I am just an actor. So, I think that's all. Every language film is what I want to do. A Bengali or Gujarati movie is what I want to do. I'll thus go and work there if I have the opportunity.”

Several actors, including Jr. NTR, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, and Prabhas, are being referred to as pan-Indian stars for their work in various film industries. Dulquer Salman also had previously stated that he dislikes the term "pan India" as well.
