Thalapathy Vijay Politics: Will he become king or kingmaker? Know the whole story

Thalapathy Vijay Politics: Thalapathy Vijay has become the biggest name in Tamil Nadu politics at this time. The ‘superstars’ of films are now making waves in politics also. In the initial trends of 2026 elections, his party Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam is surprising everyone by taking lead in many seats.

Journey from silver screen to politics

Vijay launched his party Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam in 2024 and made it clear that his focus is 2026 assembly elections. He decided to leave acting after his last film Jan Nayakan, so that he could remain fully active in politics. This step shows his serious intentions.

Strong hold at ground level

Vijay’s biggest strength is his fan base, which he converted into a strong network through Vijay Makkal Iyakkam. He created the image of a ‘people’s leader’ by helping people during the floods of 2023. Seeing the crowd in his rallies, the old parties were left in shock.

Challenges are no less

However, the path has not been so easy. The stampede incident during the Karur rally in 2025 brought him into controversy. Apart from this, political differences with his father SA Chandrasekhar also came to the fore. Despite all this, Vijay did not step back.
