VIJAY'S HOT WHEELS

My son loves ostentatious cars, but I prefer to travel in local cars in the city traffic

Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay has gifted himself the latest Audi A8 series. The flashy silver beauty is the talk of tinseltown, though it's still not reg hough it's still not registered. The irony is that though the Velayudham star owns a fleet of lux ury cars like BMWs, as well as SUVs like Nissan X Trails, the simple guy prefers to commute in desi cars like Swift and Santro. This is precisely what Superstar Rajinikanth does.

Furthermore, Vijay surprises motorists by being spotted behind the wheel at Chennai's traffic signals.

Asked about his penchant for swanky cars, the actor, who is shooting in Mumbai for AR M u r u g a d o s s ' s Thuppakki, explains, “They are for my family, actually. My son loves ostentatious cars, but I prefer to travel in local cars in the city traffic. I guess it makes sense to travel in a small car in a city like Chennai, especially when you need to be on time.“
