In the wake of Cyclone Michaung wreaking havoc in Chennai on December 4, Tamil actor Veera, renowned for his roles in Tamil movies, including the recent blockbuster ‘Thunivu,’ has taken on a real-life hero role by actively participating in the rescue operations for people stranded in the floods.
Veera, who gained popularity for his challenging roles, especially in Ajith’s ‘Thunivu’ released during the 2023 Pongal season, has been quietly involved in the rescue process for the past two days. The cyclone left many areas inundated with rainwater, particularly affecting low-lying regions where water entered homes, posing a serious threat to the safety of residents.
The actor, without seeking publicity, has joined forces with his fishermen friends to utilize lifeboats for rescuing individuals trapped in waterlogged areas, primarily focusing on the northern part of Chennai. The water level remains dangerously high in some locations, making the rescue operations challenging.
Notably, while several cinema stars have taken to social media to raise awareness and provide assistance, Veera has chosen a more hands-on approach, actively participating in the rescue efforts. The actor’s commitment to the safety of the affected people has garnered admiration.
In a show of solidarity, fans of Tamil cinema stars have also rallied to support the relief efforts, supplying essential food items and daily necessities to those affected. Some cinema stars themselves have faced challenges, being stuck in water-flooded areas and sharing their experiences on social media platforms.
As Chennai battles the aftermath of Cyclone Michaung, the collective efforts of both celebrities and their fans reflect a community-driven response to aid those in need during these challenging times.
