Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and actor-racer Ajith Kumar shared a rare public reunion at Silverstone on September 12, and the clip of Vijay jogging in for a hug has gone fully viral.

Vijay was in the UK on his first official overseas trip as CM — investment talks plus a look at motor-sports infrastructure for Tamil Nadu’s proposed Motor Sports City. He waved the green flag for the Michelin Le Mans Cup round; Ajith raced for Ajith RedAnt by Virage.

Lovely! The way #Vijay ran playfully to Hug #Ajith
