The wait is finally over for millions of fans and voters as Thalapathy Vijay officially enters the political ring for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections. In a bold move that mirrors the legends of Tamil cinema-turned-politicians, Vijay has decided to contest from two constituencies: Perambur in Chennai and Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) East. This “dual contest” strategy is a clear signal that his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is playing for keeps. On March 30, 2026, Vijay filed his nomination for Perambur, declaring total assets worth roughly ₹625 crore, making him one of the most high-profile candidates in this election cycle.
TVK isn’t just a one-man show; the party is going solo across all 234 seats in the state, skipping any major alliances to maintain its unique identity. The full candidate list features a mix of fresh faces and seasoned names, including TVK General Secretary ‘Bussy’ N. Anand (T. Nagar) and former AIADMK heavyweight K.A. Sengottaiyan (Gopichettipalayam). With the single-phase polling set for April 23, 2026, the battle lines are drawn. Will Vijay’s massive “Thalapathy” stardom translate into a historic political debut? All eyes are now on the results!
