Tamil Nadu’s renowned film icon, Joseph Vijay, popularly known as ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay, confirmed recent speculations by announcing his foray into politics. On Friday, he unveiled his political party, christening it ‘Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam’ (victorious Tamil association), marking a significant milestone in his illustrious career.

In a statement, the 49-year-old actor revealed that his party will not be participating in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Instead, it aims to make its electoral debut in the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections. Vijay articulated his vision for a corruption-free, progressive, and secular government, expressing concerns over the prevailing political climate characterized by religious and caste divisions, as well as widespread corruption.

Vijay’s decision to enter politics follows in the footsteps of illustrious predecessors from Tamil Nadu’s film industry, including former chief ministers MG Ramachandran (MGR) and J Jayalalithaa, both revered actors in their own right. MGR founded the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), while Jayalalithaa played a pivotal role within the party. Additionally, the late M Karunanidhi, another stalwart of Tamil cinema, served as chief minister and was a prominent figure in the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).

The DMK and AIADMK remain the dominant political forces in Tamil Nadu, shaping the state’s political landscape for decades. Vijay’s entry into politics adds a new dimension to the state’s electoral arena, infused with the star power and charisma he commands among millions of fans.

As Vijay embarks on this new journey, he brings with him a wealth of experience from his successful career in cinema, along with a fervent commitment to championing the interests of the people of Tamil Nadu. With his political debut slated for 2026, Vijay’s party is poised to offer a fresh alternative to the established political order, promising a vision of inclusive governance and social progress.

The announcement of ‘Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam’ marks a significant moment in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape, heralding the emergence of a new contender committed to ushering in positive change and empowering the voices of the people. As the state prepares for the upcoming elections, all eyes will be on Vijay and his party as they navigate the intricacies of electoral politics and strive to realize their vision for a better Tamil Nadu.
