Thalapathy Vijay most recently made a rare visit to Thiruvananthapuram, marking his first trip to Kerala in 14 years for the shooting of his upcoming film, Greatest of All Time, also known as GOAT. The Tamil superstar was greeted with immense fanfare upon his arrival at the airport, as evidenced by numerous videos circulating on social media. Thousands of fans flocked to the airport to catch a glimpse of Vijay, whose last film was Leo.
Vijay recently launched his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (Tamil Nadu Victory Party), ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. However, contrary to expectations, he stated that his party would not contest the upcoming elections or endorse any candidates, instead setting its sights on the 2026 assembly elections.
The realm of Tamil Nadu politics has witnessed numerous actors transitioning into political roles, including M G Ramachandran, J Jayalalithaa, Vijayakant, and more recently, Kamal Hassan. Vijay, the son of filmmaker S A Chandrasekhar and playback singer Shoba Chandrasekhar, has expressed a strong desire to serve and support the people of Tamil Nadu, acknowledging their role in his success and prominence.
