Actor-turned-politician Vijay is stepping up for a high-stakes political battle in Tamil Nadu, with strong indications he may contest from Chennai, possibly Perambur, a region long dominated by the DMK. With the ruling party holding all 16 seats in the city, Chennai remains a crucial electoral battleground. Vijay has ruled out any alliance compromises, accusing rivals of spreading rumours, while reiterating his party's commitment to secularism and social justice. Banking on support from youth, women, and working-class voters, his entry could pose a direct challenge to Chief Minister MK Stalin and reshape the political dynamics ahead of the elections.
