In a surprising turn of events, Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is leading in over 100 seats in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, challenging the historical dominance of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). As of 12:30 PM, TVK is reported to lead in 108 out of 234 seats, just shy of the 118-seat majority needed. Celebrations erupted at Vijay's home in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, where his family, including father S. A. Chandrasekhar and mother Shoba, were seen blowing whistles and embracing each other in joy.
