Thalapathy Vijay's foray into politics has stirred the political landscape in tamil Nadu, prompting discussions about the nature of his political ambitions. While it remains uncertain whether he will establish his own political party or join an existing one, political leaders from various parties have both welcomed and criticized his move. Vijay's announcement comes after he garnered public support by influencing electoral outcomes in favour of those aligned with his ideologies.
Despite his limited political experience, some view him as an actor seeking to contribute positively to society through political engagement. Vijay has engaged in philanthropic activities through associations he favours, providing financial assistance to school students. Throughout his film career, he has often touched upon political themes, delivering punch dialogues aimed at governments and political parties. Notably, in 2011, Vijay's movie "Kavalan" faced opposition from the DMK government, leading him to support the AIADMK in subsequent elections.
However, his claim of contributing to the AIADMK's victory drew criticism from the then chief minister J. Jayalalithaa. Recent criticisms against Vijay suggest that he may be acting as a bjp proxy to secure minority votes for the ruling DMK or as a DMK-backed countermeasure against the rising political figure Annamalai. Meanwhile, the AIADMK alleges that the bjp, having failed to bring superstar Rajinikanth into politics, is now implementing a strategic plan with Vijay. Amidst these criticisms and speculations, Vijay's response to the evolving political scenario will be eagerly awaited.
