The results are awaited, and early trends suggest that superstar Thalapathy Vijay is all set to create history and achieve “Greatest of All Time” (G.O.A.T.) status in modern Indian politics, echoing the
legendary entries of M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) and N.T. Rama Rao (NTR), and celebrations are already underway at the actor’s residence.
The security outside Vijay’s residence has also been amped up, considering the early poll estimates. As the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly election results trickle in, Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is not just participating in its poll debut, it is leading the chart, with TVK ahead in over 100 seats.

When Vijay officially launched the TVK on February 2, 2024, critics dismissed it as a “fan-club experiment.” By choosing to skip the 2024 Lok Sabha elections to focus solely on the 2026 state assembly, Vijay played a long game that is now paying dividends.
While skeptics argued that the massive crowds at his Vikravandi and Karur rallies were merely “cinema fans” who wouldn’t show up at the booth, the 84.8% voter turnout on April 23 proved them wrong. Vijay has successfully converted “screen idols” into “voting citizens,” bridging the gap between stardom and the ballot box in a manner not seen since MGR or NTR.
Through the manifesto of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, Vijay has promised initiatives like the ‘Annapoorani Super Six’, with a focus on women’s empowerment, job opportunities for youth, and economic support measures. His entry has added a fresh dynamic to a political landscape traditionally dominated by Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
Alongside his political ambitions, Vijay also disclosed his financial details in his election affidavit. His total assets stand at Rs 404.58 crore. Reports note that his income for 2024–25 is Rs 184 crore, with Rs 2 lakh in cash and Rs 320 crore held in bank accounts. His family’s financial details were also listed, including estranged wife Sangeeta Sornalingam, son Jason Sanjay, and daughter Divya Saasha.
