Vijay, the leading star of Tamil cinema, is navigating a tough phase in his life. Having recently launched his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), he's preparing to contest the upcoming summer elections. However, everything isn't aligning in his favor. The actor-turned-politician is facing professional and personal setbacks that could impact his political aspirations.
The Karur tragic incident, which occurred during his political campaign, left Vijay in a state of trauma. It took him considerable time to process the event and refocus on his political goals. Additionally, his final film, Jana Nayagan, has faced significant release hurdles, with the movie yet to hit screens. Originally scheduled for January 9th, current reports suggest the release may only happen after the elections.
Vijay's personal life is also under scrutiny, with his wife filing for divorce and alleging personal misconduct. This legal and personal battle comes at a critical time for the TVK leader, as he attempts to pivot from the silver screen to the political arena. The timing of these obstacles marks a challenging phase for Vijay, and it's unclear how they'll impact his electoral prospects.
The developments have created a difficult environment for Vijay, and it's a test of his resilience and leadership. As the summer elections approach, he'll need to navigate these challenges carefully to achieve his political goals. Vijay has declared himself the TVK's CM face for the 2026 Tamil Nadu polls, positioning his party as a strong alternative to the ruling DMK.
