Superstar Vijay has formed a political party in Tamil Nadu, only days after being named party chairman by Tamizha Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) leaders. Vijay is anticipated to enter the political arena ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly election in 2026. “Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam” approximately translates as “Tamil Nadu Victory Party.”
Vijay said his party will not contest the Lok Sabha election. The TVK will also not support anyone, as decided in its recently held general council and executive council meetings, he said.
“I have decided to complete the film I have already committed to, without affecting the party work and completely involve myself in the politics of public service. I consider this as my gratitude towards the people of Tamil Nadu,” Vijay said, news agency PTI reported.
The statement sparked spontaneous jubilation among his supporters in the state famed for stars transitioning from film to politics, such as the late stalwarts MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa.
Vijay, who has appeared in 68 films, is regarded as Tamil cinema’s next Rajinikanth. He has been cultivating political ambitions for more than ten years. He has engaged his fan groups in a variety of charitable and humanitarian initiatives, including free food distribution, educational scholarships, libraries, nighttime tuition, and even legal help.
He recently organized a constituency-level initiative to recognize student high performers in public examinations. He informed the pupils that he wanted to learn about leaders such as Ambedkar, Periyar, and Kamaraj. “Take what is good and leave the rest.”
Film director Chandrasekhar is the father of Vijay. Vijay’s films have frequently addressed difficult and important public interest issues, and he enjoys a cult following in the state. Some of Vijay’s films have also taken controversial stances against governments throughout the years.
