Thalapathy Vijay is known for giving one blockbuster after another! Hence, it was no surprise to see the Tamil superstar pulling off a sensational poll debut in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections. Vijay's party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), won 108 seats in the polls, and the actor-turned-politician is the frontrunner to become the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The party might have fallen short of the 118-seat majority mark, but there are already plenty of offers of coalition from both the Congress and the BJP. It remains to be seen who the superstar chooses to go with.

"Congratulations @actorvijay sir. First doubted and then crowned. Happened at our home and now it's happening in our neighbouring home. Underdog winning is always absolute cinema ( or should I say absolute politics ?) Hope great things follow for the people of Tamil Nadu who have made their decision clear," wrote 'Hi Nanna' actor Nani.

BJP MP Hema Malini also took to X to praise Vijay, calling his victory "completely unexpected."
“As for Tamil Nadu, the state has veered away from Dravidian supremacy which had ruled the state for many years. The youth have voted in hordes for the new first time political star, the recent film star turned politician Joseph Vijay. This was a tsunami, completely unexpected which has swept through the state which has seen the rule of film personalities MGR and Jayalalitha earlier. I wish Vijay good luck in his new role - most probably that of the new CM of Tamil Nadu," she wrote.
Vijay Deverakonda, who recently got married to Rashmika Mandanna, said that he wishes to see Tamil Nadu prosper under the leadership of Vijay. “My Admiration and congratulations to the people of Tamil Nadu for turning up so strongly to vote and take a stand for themselves. Wishing all the people of TN and the new CM all prosperity and collective growth. Excited to see this new Phase and Face of Tamil Politics,” he wrote.
Rajinikanth also congratulated Vijay on pulling off a sensational victory and stunning one and all. "My congratulations to Thiru Vijay, President of the victorious Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, and to the members of his party, on their resounding victory," he wrote.
Chiranjeevi, Dhanush, Kamal Haasan, AR Rahman, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan and Rashmika Mandanna are some of the others to openly congratulate Vijay for winning the most number of seats in the Tamil Nadu elections.
Speaking of Vijay, his entire poll campaign was marred with the controversy surrounding his upcoming film 'Jana Nayagan'. The film was slated to release in theatres earlier this year, but wasn't issued a censor certificate. Then, the project leaked online and the fully HD version was available on piracy websites. No official release date has been announced yet.
