Ilayathalapathy Vijay is busy shooting in Australia for his flick Thalaivaa with director Vijay. However, it looks like his family, especially his wife, is on his mind.

Speaking exclusively to us from Down Under, the actor said that April 14 was not just Tamil New Year but also his wife Sangeetha's birthday.

Vijay's special birthday message for her was, "I'd like to wish Geetha a very happy birthday. It's unfortunate I could not be with her today."
