Tamil Nadu Elections | Chennai Showdown Brewing as Vijay Eyes DMK's Urban Fortress | Vijay Rally

In North Chennai's industrial hub of Thiruvottiyur, buzz is growing over the possible electoral debut of actor-turned-politician Vijay, chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). While some beneficiaries of the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government's welfare schemes say their vote will go to Vijay, loyalists of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam remain cautious. With Chennai long seen as the DMK's bastion, speculation is mounting over whether Vijay's star power can breach the Dravidian stronghold as TVK eyes seats like Velachery, Virugambakkam, and North Chennai.
