The meeting took place at Seva Teerth in the national capital and lasted around 30 minutes. The Prime Minister's Office confirmed the interaction on X: "Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru @actorvijay met Prime Minister @narendramodi today."
Upon arriving in Delhi, Vijay visited the Tamil Nadu House, where he was received with a ceremonial guard of honour during his first official visit to the capital as Chief Minister.
