Tamil cinema’s leading star, Thalapathy Vijay, has long contemplated entering the political arena in Tamil Nadu alongside his successful film career. Recent reports indicate that Vijay is on the brink of launching his own political party, “Vijay Makkal Iyakkam,” ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Plans are underway to officially register the party next month, with a potential public unveiling by the end of February.
Vijay is scheduled to convene with his supporters this week to discuss his political strategy, with an announcement expected shortly afterward. With Tamil Nadu gearing up for the Lok Sabha elections this year, Vijay aims to establish his party before then. In recent months, he has also been involved in philanthropic initiatives across the state, signaling his imminent foray into politics.
