A group of Thalapathy Vijay fans have entered the Singapore Book of Records for the “largest human figure standee”, which can be found at Carnival Cinemas outside the theatre screening the actor’s latest movie GOAT.
Known as the Singapore Thalapathy Vijay Fans Club, the club was formed last April upon hearing that actor Vijay was slated to star in his last two movies. Besides designing their own GOAT T-shirts, they also made a foam-based standee of the actor, measuring 5.1m x 3.0m.
The standee has already courted controversy it seems, as the Rajinikanth Rasigar Narpani Mandram – a Rajinikanth fan club here – contested the record in an X post on Aug 30, stating that their Kabali cut-out at Rex Cinema in 2016 was 12m-tall.
President of Singapore Book of Records Ong Eng Huat said in response: “Our definition of a standee is that it is portable.
“The Rajinikanth cut-out needed extensive reinforcement and could not be easily moved, so it cannot be considered a standee.”
