Overview
- Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, swept the state election and he has taken office as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after launching TVK two years ago.
- Pawan Kalyan told supporters he felt “a little jealous” of Vijay’s win and joked that TVK used cutouts and holograms to campaign when he spoke at a public event on Monday.
- Chiranjeevi’s team said the veteran actor placed a warm, cordial call to Vijay to congratulate him and that the pair discussed Vijay thanking him for support over a Jana Nayagan piracy leak.
- Vijay’s final film, Jana Nayagan, remains uncertified by the Central Board of Film Certification and has been delayed since January, keeping industry and political attention on film certification and piracy.
- The coverage highlights a broader pattern in southern politics where film stardom can translate quickly into electoral power and where campaign imagery, grassroots organizing and industry networks now shape political competition.
