Actor Vijay has announced that he would stage a fast on 16 Nov along with his fans in Chennai to protest the killing on innocent Tamils in Sri Lanka.

In a press release, Vijay said, "my fans have been indulging in several social welfare activities. They rendered a great help during the Kargil war, Gujarat earthquake and tsunami sufferings. Now to voice their support for ailing Tamils in Sri Lanka, they would come together to stage a fast on 16 November."
