Actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay has once again grabbed everyone’s attention after becoming the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Days after filmmaker Venkat Prabhu gifted him a special number plate that many fans believed predicted his political victory, Vijay has now received another memorable present.
On Friday, the MRF team gifted Vijay a cricket bat signed by Indian cricket star Virat Kohli. Several photos from the meeting surfaced online, showing Vijay interacting with top officials from MRF at the state secretariat. The delegation included MRF Chairman and Managing Director KM Mammen, Vice Chairman and Managing Director Arun Mammen and Managing Director Rahul Mammen. Reportedly, the meeting focused on the company’s operations and business
activities in Tamil Nadu.
Pictures of Thalapathy proudly posing with the bat have also gone viral on social media. In the viral photos, Vijay can be seen smiling as he holds the bat signed by Virat Kohli. The actor-turned-politician looks stylish in a black suit paired with a white open-collar shirt. Adding a traditional touch to his look, he draped a veshti with gold zari borders over one shoulder.

Vijay, officially known as C. Joseph Vijay, was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on May 10, 2026. The ceremony at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium marked a major political shift in the state. Leading his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), Vijay emerged as the single largest force in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections with 108 seats.
Meanwhile, on the acting front, Vijay will soon be seen in Jana Nayagan. The film, which was also leaked recently, has been awaiting its release for a long time now. It has not yet received a clearance from the censor board.
