Thalapathy Vijay, a prominent figure in Tamil cinema, officially entered politics with the launch of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in 2024. However, his films have long hinted at his political ambitions. Over two decades, Vijay's cinematic journey has evolved from light-hearted romantic comedies to impactful socio-political dramas. Films like 'Kaththi' (2014) tackled issues such as farmer suicides and corporate exploitation, while 'Mersal' (2017) criticized medical corruption and sparked political debates. His latest project, 'Jana Nayagan,' is a Tamil remake of the Telugu film 'Bhagavanth Kesari' and is expected to carry strong political messaging. Vijay's filmography reflects a shift towards socially conscious narratives, positioning him as a protector of the common man and paving the way for his political aspirations. As he transitions from a cinematic star to a political leader, his films serve as a testament to his long-standing engagement with themes of governance and public welfare.
