Yet another Tamil actor to make it to politics?

It is not new for Tamil actors to take a political plunge after attaining stardom through films.

Former chief minister Karunanidhi of DMK served as a Tamil screenplay writer. Actors Vijayakanth, Jayalalitha, Sarathkumar, Kamal Haasan, and many others have entered the political arena.

As per latest reports, Vijay is set to follow the trend too. A general counsel meeting was held in Vijay's office in Chennai with the actor serving as the party president. The party will be registered before 2024 Lok Sabha polls, but with Vijay set to make his debut in the upcoming 2024 state assembly polls, as per reports. His fan club, which goes by the name, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam, will be turned into a party. The club is known to indulge in social welfare activities like organising blood donation camps, helping flood victims, honouring school students, to name a few.

On the cinema front:
