It’s official now. Our very own Vijay Thalapathy, the man who ruled hearts on the big screen, is stepping into a completely different battlefield – politics. And not just as a campaign face… he’s now the Chief Ministerial candidate of his newly launched political party, Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK).
Why Everyone’s Talking About It
Vijay has always had a certain calm, respectful energy. No unnecessary drama, no controversies, and always speaking straight to the point. That’s rare in both cinema and politics. Now, as the leader of TVK, he’s bringing that same calmness and clarity into the political space.
People are fed up with the same old speeches and false promises. Vijay, on the other hand, is speaking about education, employment, anti-corruption, and dignity for every citizen. No filmy lines – just real issues.
