Chennai, May 17 - Superstar Rajinikanth has reacted strongly to Thalapathy Vijay's political victory, calling it a historic achievement that even surpassed the political success of legendary actors-turned-politicians MGR and NTR. During his latest media interaction, Rajinikanth said Vijay had accomplished something extraordinary by winning independently while taking on both national and regional political giants, calling his victory remarkable.
"Vijay has achieved something even bigger than what MGR and NTR did. He won independently while taking on the BJP at the Centre and the two major Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu. It gives me both surprise and happiness," Rajinikanth said.
The statement has instantly gone viral across social media, with fans and political observers calling it one of the biggest endorsements Vijay has received from the film fraternity since entering politics. Rajinikanth's comparison with legendary figures like MGR and NTR has especially caught attention, considering their immense impact on both cinema and politics in South India.
Vijay's political rise has become a major talking point in Tamil Nadu over the last year. His independent political strategy and growing public support have positioned him as a serious force in the state's political landscape. The actor-turned-politician has been sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu with alliance support, after his own party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), emerged as the single largest party with 108 seats in the recently concluded assembly elections.
