Vijay’s transition from films to politics
Vijay officially stepped into politics after announcing his retirement from acting in December last year. He formed his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), and began focusing entirely on public life. His political entry marked a major shift in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape. In the recent elections, TVK made a strong debut by winning 108 seats and later securing support that brought its total strength to 120 MLAs in a 234-member assembly. Vijay’s rise in politics has often been compared to legendary actor-politicians like NT Rama Rao, MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa, who also transitioned from cinema to leadership roles.
Vijay’s final film and industry attention
Before fully committing to politics, Vijay had announced that H Vinoth’s Jana Nayagan would be his final film. The movie features Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol in key roles. It has faced delays due to certification issues and later online leaks, prompting legal action from the makers. The film is now expected to release on June 19, ahead of Vijay’s 52nd birthday to mark it as an special occasion for hisd die-hard admirers, although an official confirmation is still awaited.
Ram Charan’s words add industry support
Ram Charan’s statement reflects growing admiration within the film industry for Vijay’s decision. His words highlight the respect Vijay continues to receive even after stepping away from cinema at the peak of his career. Meanwhile, Ram Charan’s Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu and Boman Irani in key roles. With music composed by AR Rahman, the film is one of the most anticipated releases and is set to hit theatres on June 4.
