On May 10, 2026, Thalapathy Vijay, officially known as C. Joseph Vijay, was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai. This event marked a significant political shift, as Vijay's party, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), emerged as the single largest force in the Assembly elections, winning 108 seats and breaking the long-standing dominance of the DMK and AIADMK. Actress Trisha Krishnan, a close friend and co-star of Vijay, attended the ceremony, dressed in a traditional turquoise silk saree. She was seen warmly greeting Vijay's mother, Shobha Chandrasekhar, and sister, Vidya, showcasing her support for Vijay's new role. The ceremony attracted massive crowds and notable political figures, highlighting Vijay's dramatic transition from a cinematic icon to a political leader in Tamil Nadu.
