Actor Vijay Deverakonda sent a congratulatory message to Thalapathy Vijay following the strong performance of the TVK party in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections.
The result marks a significant shift in the region's political landscape as a cinematic figure transitions into a major electoral force. The success of the TVK party suggests a growing appetite for new leadership in the state's legislative body.
Thalapathy Vijay, acting as the chief of the TVK party, is currently leading in a significant number of seats. Reports indicate the party is leading in between 108 [1] and 109 [2] of the 234 total seats available in the assembly.
Deverakonda was among several industry peers, including actor Vikram, who reached out to the TVK chief to acknowledge the electoral milestone. The actors noted the scale of the achievement in their messages.
"You made history," Deverakonda and Vikram said [1].
Other figures from the entertainment industry, including Nani and Tiger Shroff, also expressed their support for the TVK chief during the results period [2]. The surge in support for the party has positioned Thalapathy Vijay as a central figure in the current political discourse of Tamil Nadu.
“"You made history,"”
The emergence of the TVK party as a dominant force in the 2026 elections demonstrates the enduring power of celebrity influence in Tamil Nadu politics. By securing nearly half of the assembly seats, Thalapathy Vijay has moved beyond symbolic participation to become a primary contender for governance, potentially disrupting the established two-party dominance in the state.
