In a remarkable turn of events, Vijay's political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is set to form the government in Tamil Nadu after a historic performance in the 2026 assembly elections. The party has emerged as a front-runner, leading in 99 constituencies and securing 10 seats in the 234-member assembly, surpassing the traditional powerhouses, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). On Monday evening, Vijay made his first public appearance outside his parents' residence in Chennai, where he greeted hundreds of supporters with a smile and folded hands, acknowledging their enthusiastic support. Celebrities from the film industry, including AR Rahman, Chiranjeevi, and Ram Charan, extended their congratulations to Vijay on social media, wishing him success as a leader committed to social justice and equality. Vijay's political journey began in February 2024 when he announced his candidacy for the elections, subsequently launching TVK and holding public rallies across Tamil Nadu. Despite facing challenges, including a tragic stampede at a rally that resulted in 41 fatalities, Vijay's determination to contest independently set him apart from other political figures who aligned with established parties. As he looks to potentially become the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Vijay may take a step back from his film career, with his last movie, Jana Nayagan, awaiting certification.
