How did Vijay break the monopoly of Tamil Nadu?

In 2024, Thalapathy Vijay formed a political party and after two years of tireless work, the Tamil Nadu Assembly Election 2026 results surprised everyone. Many factors played a role in Vijay’s victory. He successfully converted his huge silver screen fan following into a vote bank. He also converted his box office magic into votes.

In a span of 33 years, Thalapathy Vijay has acted in more than 70 films, creating a savior-like image for him. Women and youth voters have been his greatest strength. Vijay focused on both in his election promises, creating a strong vote base. Vijay did not form an alliance with DMK or AIADMK and decided to contest 234 seats alone in his first election. This bold decision strengthened the confidence of voters in him.

Vijay’s masterstroke of victory

Vijay learned from the mistakes of both of them and when he entered politics he reached out to the common people. From mingling with activists to listening to their concerns, his ability to reach out to people has been his greatest attribute. Instead of taking a sudden leap, he entered politics from the streets of villages and towns. Although his party is only two years old, he has been connecting with the grassroots for the last ten years through his fan club ‘Vijay Makkal Iyakkam’. Amidst all this, the AIADMK party has been steadily weakening since Jayalalithaa’s demise, while the DMK is facing an anti-incumbency wave. In this situation, people showered love on the film star who was emerging as a grassroots leader.
