In South India, especially
tamil Nadu, where
movie stars have made a smooth transition into influential political figures, there is a long-standing relationship between the
film industry and politics. Superstar of
tamil film M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) famously left the DMK due to disagreements with
karunanidhi and founded the ADMK (later AIADMK). Jayalalithaa, MGR's protégé and the
chief minister of
tamil Nadu, continued his father's legacy, despite the DMK's persistent political opposition. A number of other well-known actors, like Sarath Kumar, Vijayakanth, and K. Bhagyaraj, have also entered
politics, though their results have not been as promising.
But Vijayakanth's DMDK was able to leave an impression, especially when allied with the AIADMK. Despite his
success in the movies,
kamal haasan found it difficult to build momentum for Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), his political organization. The actor Vijay, also referred to as "Thalapathy," is currently the center of attention as he and his political party, Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), prepare for the general
elections of 2026. Vijay is entering
politics at a time when
tamil Nadu's political climate is drastically shifting.
But on the flip side, TVK doesn't even have a single potential
mla candidate apart from Vijay. So, how is the
cm dream going to be possible? Bussy Anand's
comedy is also tarnishing Vijay's image. Let's see how Vijay is going to overcome all the odds!
