In its constant endeavour to connect and
entertain its Tamil audience across the globe, the premiere Tamil language TV
channel, STAR Vijay, travels to Durban with several of its ever-popular stars
including world-renowned star, Shankar Mahadevan in tow for Vijay Star Nite - a spectacular
one-night-only showcase taking place tomorrow (March 1, 2019) at the Durban
ICC.
STAR Vijay belongs to the STAR TV Network
and is a popular Tamil general entertainment channel that is available in South
Africa on DStv channel 455. Programming on the channel is varied, innovative
and engaging and primarily to cater to the evolving tastes of the Tamil
audience across the world.
As a preferred channel amongst the Tamil
diaspora, STAR Vijay continues to raise the bar on content, packaging and
promotion. And in light of this, the channel has created an event of this
magnitude to connect with its audience and allow its viewers the unique
opportunity to experience the artistes live.
The one-night spectacular will be televised
worldwide as a weekend special but the live Durban audience will have the magic
of experiencing the excitement live and witnessing the stars from some of the
most popular shows on STAR Vijay on stage performing live alongside the
memorable and award-winning artist, Shankar Mahadevan.
Celebrity couple, Senthil Ganesh – winner
of Super Singer 6 – and his wife Rajalakshmi, together with the other finalists
of the ever-favourite singing talent competition will give the audience a
musical treat with renditions of evergreen hits to magical folk numbers,
accompanied by a bevy of talented musicians.

compelling storytelling, cutting-edge production values or by bringing our
brand of entertainment to the viewers' doorstep in a live format. We consider
South Africa to be a melting pot of cultures, and a country where the Star
brand is much loved & admired. Last year, we brought Star Life HD, a new
channel that brought Bollywood, soaps and reality shows in English, making Star
a household name. This year, we are very proud to bring Vijay Star Nite to our Tamil audiences, which we hope the SA
