In
Politics:
Popular
Tamil
actor
Thalapathy
Vijay,
who
is
riding
high
on
the
success
of
his
recent
movie
Leo,
is
gearing
up
to
step
into
the
world
of
politics.
Vijay
has
long
harbored
ambitions
of
launching
his
own
political
party
and
has
actively
engaged
in
charitable
activities
such
as
distributing
food,
providing
scholarships,
establishing
libraries,
and
offering
legal
aid.
Reportedly,
Vijay
has
initiated
the
process
of
forming
his
political
party
in
Tamil
Nadu,
where
he
has
been
elected
as
the
party
president.
The
party
is
expected
to
be
officially
registered
with
the
Election
Commission
of
India
(ECI)
soon,
although
the
party's
name
has
not
yet
been
finalized.
According
to
reports,
about
200
members
of
the
party's
general
council
recently
convened
for
a
meeting
ahead
of
the
registration
process.
Key
positions
such
as
General
Secretary
and
Treasurer
have
been
filled,
and
a
Central
Executive
Committee
has
been
established.
It
is
speculated
that
Vijay
will
venture
into
politics
before
the
2026
Tamil
Nadu
elections,
and
it's
anticipated
that
the
party
name
will
include
Kazhagam
to
align
with
Tamil
Nadu's
political
customs.
Beyond
his
acting
career,
Vijay
is
renowned
for
his
philanthropy,
often
extending
assistance
to
those
in
need.
In
December
2023,
he
provided
aid
to
flood-affected
communities
in
Thoothukudi
and
Tirunelveli
districts
by
distributing
relief
materials
to
affected
families.
Additionally,
recent
reports
suggest
that
Vijay
treated
himself
to
a
new
luxury
car.
Known
for
his
affinity
for
lavish
rides,
Vijay
acquired
a
BMW
i7
xDrive
60
electric
car,
further
adding
to
his
impressive
car
collection.
While
balancing
his
philanthropic
endeavors
and
burgeoning
political
aspirations,
Vijay
remains
active
in
the
film
industry.
In
2023,
he
appeared
in
two
movies,
Leo
and
Varisu,
and
is
currently
immersed
in
the
filming
of
his
upcoming
project,
tentatively
titled
Thalapathy
68,
under
the
direction
of
Venkat
Prabhu.
