Vijay debuts on Instagram.

Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay on Sunday made his debut on Instagram. His account clocked more than 1 million followers within an hour after its launch. And it's likely among the quickest celebrity accounts that crossed the million mark in this record time. Vijay's first Instagram post was a picture of himself, presumably taken during Leo's shooting in Kashmir. He captioned the photo, "Hello Nanbas and Nanbis." And the post has garnered over 9 lakh likes in less than an hour.

Vijay joined Twitter in 2013. However, he is rarely active on his Twitter account. He has been mostly using it to promote his upcoming movies. In the first, last year, he shared the trailer of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's latest movie Pathaan. It was arguably the only time he used his Twitter influence to support a movie of another superstar.
