R Madhavan extended his heartfelt congratulations to Thalapathy Vijay as he prepares to take the oath of office as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Madhavan shared a supportive message on Instagram, which quickly gained traction among fans. Vijay's political journey is significant, as his party, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has made a notable entrance in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, currently holding 108 out of 234 seats. To achieve a majority, the party needs support from approximately 12 more MLAs. Vijay's election win from both Perambur and Tiruchy East means he must vacate one seat. The event also saw actress Trisha Krishnan in attendance, reigniting discussions about her past on-screen partnership with Vijay in popular films. Meanwhile, Madhavan continues to work in the film industry, with his recent project, Dhurandhar 2, reportedly earning ₹1782.15 crore (roughly $216 million USD) worldwide, making it the second-highest all-time grosser after Baahubali: The Conclusion.
