Thalapathy Vijay celebrated his 49th birthday on June 22. On the occasion, the Tollywood star was showered with an outpour of wishes from his sea of admirers and the film fraternity. But, it was Pooja Hegde's birthday wish for her Beast co-star that brought a smile to our faces. The actress treated fans with an unseen video of Thalapathy Vijay dancing to the Buttabomma song from the sets of Beast.
