The political aspirations of actor Vijay are drawing attention in Tamil Nadu. The question is whether he can achieve political success like Pawan Kalyan in Andhra Pradesh. Vijay is attracting large crowds, especially the youth, which could be a challenge for the ruling DMK party. The DMK is focusing on its accomplishments in economic growth. Vijay’s entrance introduces uncertainty into the political arena. Prof. Ramu Manivannan from Madras University suggests that late entrants into politics may not replicate the success of previous stars. In Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan made an impact, but the dynamics in Tamil Nadu differ. The DMK is in a strong position, while the AIADMK is allied with the BJP. Vijay’s presence has the potential to change the political equations. Bhagwan Singh, a political analyst, believes Vijay’s popularity with youth could damage the DMK. Speculation surrounds Vijay’s backing, with suggestions of the DMK’s involvement or links to the BJP. Despite Vijay’s claims of independence, his success depends on his ability to turn his popularity into votes.
