Vijay Awards is back after two years. This year, being the 10th edition of the event, it has turned out to be a special occasion for the Tamil TV channel. The annual Vijay Awards is one of the most awaited events in Kollywood. It will honour Tamil cinema celebs and technicians for their contributions to Tamil cinema. Here, we bring you the live updates of the event:
The awards ceremony, which was supposed to be held on May 26 in Chennai, was postponed to June 3 due to Sterlite issue. The event is expected to be attended by some of the big names from Kollywood that include Kamal Haasan, Ilayathalapathy Vijay, Suriya and Sivakarthikeyan.
The event will witness performances by actresses like Anjali, Dhanshika, Sayyeesha Saigal and many more. Harish Kalyan, who had participated in the first season of Bigg Boss Tamil, will be entertaining the guests with a dance performance. However, much to the disappointment of fans, the awards ceremony is not open to the public.
Best music director: @arrahman,sir for Kaatru Veliyidai. #VijayAwards..
