Actor-turned-politician Vijay has scripted a remarkable political debut in Tamil Nadu, emerging as a dominant force with his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). In just two years since entering politics, Vijay has transformed his massive fan base into a strong voter base, reshaping the state's political landscape. Despite controversies including a rally stampede, film release hurdles, and agency scrutiny his campaign centred on "new politics" and anti-corruption messaging struck a chord with voters.
