'May Your Tenure As CM Be The Most Rewarding': R Madhavan Sends Best Wishes To Thalapathy Vijay

Madhavan extended his heartfelt wishes to actor-turned-politician Thalapathy Vijay as the latter is all set to take the Chief Minsiter oath today in Tamil Nadu. His message quickly went viral, with many fans praising the actor for his gracious words and support.

Taking to his Instagram handle, R Madhavan shared the photo of Thalapathy Vijay and wrote, “God bless you and sooooo Proud of you.” Fans also reacted with heart emojis. One of the fans wrote, “My Thalapathy Vijay Sir.” Another wrote, “Chief minister of tamilnadu VIJAY.” Among the early arrivals was actor Trisha Krishnan, who kept things very low-key but warm as she reached the venue for the oath-taking ceremony of Vijay.

The event

is a major step for Vijay’s political journey. His party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has made a strong debut in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, turning into one of the most talked-about new political entries in recent years.

Out of 234 seats, a party needs 118 for a majority. TVK is currently ahead in 108 seats, putting it just short of the mark. But the numbers are still shifting in practical terms. Since Vijay has won from two constituencies—Perambur and Tiruchy East—he will have to vacate one. Also, one MLA will be appointed Speaker, which changes the final strength in the House. Because of this, the party will need support from around 12 more MLAs to comfortably prove its majority.

While the political side of the story unfolds, Vijay’s long-standing connection with Trisha has also been a talking point again, especially with her being seen at such an important event.

The two share a popular on-screen history and were once one of Tamil cinema’s most loved pairs. They worked together in hit films like Ghilli, Thirupaachi, Aathi and Kuruvi. Their chemistry was a big fan favourite back then and often became a topic of discussion off-screen too.
