In a groundbreaking political shift, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor-turned-politician Vijay, has emerged as the single largest party in Tamil Nadu's 234-member Assembly, securing 107 seats. This victory marks a significant disruption to the traditional political landscape dominated by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga hailed the achievement on social media, emphasizing the transformative power of cinema in politics. Other film personalities, including Rishab Shetty and Riteish Deshmukh, also extended their congratulations to Vijay, who is now poised to potentially become the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Vijay's journey into politics began with the launch of TVK in October 2024, followed by extensive campaigning across the state. However, his rise has not been without tragedy; a stampede during one of his rallies in Karur resulted in 41 fatalities. As he prepares for a future in governance, Vijay may step back from his film career, with his upcoming movie, Jana Nayagan, still awaiting certification.
