Vijay’s Political Roadmap

Earlier this year, in February 2024, Vijay formally announced his political entry, declaring his intention to contest the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections under the TVK banner. By October, he had conducted his first maanaadu, officially kickstarting his political campaign. Vijay has been clear about his plans to retire from acting to dedicate himself fully to politics.

On the cinema front, he was last seen in The GOAT (2024), directed by Venkat Prabhu, where he played dual roles. His final outing on the silver screen is expected to be Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth, which is scheduled for release during Pongal 2026.
