A 2025 video of political strategist Prashant Kishor predicting a landslide victory for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party has gone viral [1].

The clip has resurfaced as the party, led by actor-politician Vijay, is projected to secure a historic mandate following the Tamil Nadu Assembly election held on April 23, 2026 [2].

In the original footage from 2025, Kishor expressed confidence in the party's trajectory [1]. "Yes, absolutely. Keep this video and play it when the results come out in Tamil Nadu," Kishor said [1]. He said that "no one will be able to stop him" regarding Vijay's political momentum [1].

Kishor's analysis extended beyond seat counts to the cultural impact of the party's leader. He said that Vijay would be more popular than MS Dhoni in Tamil Nadu [1]. This comparison highlights the scale of the influence Vijay has leveraged as he transitioned from the film industry to state politics.

According to the predictions circulating in the resurfaced content, the party was expected to secure between 98 and 120 seats [3] in the assembly. This projection aligns with current reports suggesting a massive win for the TVK as the results are processed.

The viral nature of the clip underscores the perceived accuracy of Kishor's early assessment of the political climate in the region. The strategist's claims regarding the seat count and popularity have now become a focal point for supporters and critics alike as the final tallies emerge [1, 3].

“"No one will be able to stop him."”

The resurgence of this prediction highlights the disruptive impact of celebrity-led politics in Tamil Nadu. If the party achieves the projected 98 to 120 seats, it represents a significant shift in the state's traditional power dynamics, validating the strategist's claim that cinematic popularity can be converted into a historic electoral mandate.
