Actor Vijay, popularly known as “Thalapathy” among his fans, has recently taken steps toward a more active role in politics.

Vijay began his film career in the early 1990s and gradually established himself as one of the leading actors in Tamil cinema. Over the years, several of his films achieved commercial success, contributing to his widespread popularity.

In recent times, some of his films have included themes related to social and public issues such as healthcare, taxation, and farmers’ concerns. These elements have drawn attention to his evolving public image.

In February 2024, Vijay officially announced the launch of his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). He stated that his aim is to participate in public life and contribute to society through political engagement.

Political observers note that Vijay’s popularity and long-standing fan base could provide him with an initial support network. However, his electoral impact and political standing will become clearer in the coming years.
