Actor Vijay has made headlines not only for his cinematic achievements but also for his political success as the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party won 108 seats in the recent elections. This victory comes on the heels of a complicated relationship with his father, SA Chandrasekhar, who was pivotal in launching Vijay's career. Despite initial setbacks, including a series of unsuccessful films, Vijay found his footing with the 1996 hit Poove Unakkaga, marking the start of his rise to stardom. However, their relationship faced turmoil in 2020 when Chandrasekhar attempted to convert Vijay's fan club into a political party without his son's consent, leading Vijay to publicly disown the party and even sue his father to protect his name. Following TVK's electoral success on May 4, 2026, SA Chandrasekhar hailed it as a historic victory, reflecting on a dream he once had for his son that has now come to fruition, reminiscent of the themes in his 1992 film Tomorrow’s Verdict.
