Kannada actor Shivarajkumar praises Vijay’s historic debut win says silence and work led to success hopes promises to Tamil Nadu people are fulfilled
Bengaluru: Actor-politician Vijay has scripted history in the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026, with his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam securing a remarkable 108 seats in its debut electoral contest. The massive victory has drawn widespread reactions from across the country, including the film industry.
Among those who extended their wishes is veteran Kannada actor Shivarajkumar, who lauded Vijay’s achievement and described the victory as “well-deserved.”
“Thalapathy Vijay got a well-deserved victory. The biggest victory is to remain silent even when harsh criticism is made against you and let your work do the talking. Once I had said ‘TVK means Try Vijay As King’—today you stand tall like a king,” Shivarajkumar stated.
His remarks have resonated widely among fans and political observers, who see Vijay’s rise as a significant moment in Tamil Nadu’s political evolution.
Both Vijay and Shivarajkumar share mutual respect as leading figures in their respective film industries, adding weight to the congratulatory message.
“May you find the strength to fulfil all the promises made to the people and lead the state towards development,” he added.
With 108 seats, TVK has emerged as a dominant force, signalling a major political shift in the state and opening a new chapter beyond the traditional Dravidian party dominance.
As Vijay steps into a larger political role, attention now turns to government formation and how he translates electoral success into governance.
