Situated on land owned by the actor in Korattur, Chennai's western parts, the temple's creation took place earlier this year, contrary to initial assumptions. The viral image capturing Vijay's temple visit dates back to this period and is not recent.

Born into a family with an interfaith setting, Vijay’s father, SA Chandrasekhar, hails from a Catholic Christian background, while his mother, Shoba, is a Hindu.
