Bollywood action star Tiger Shroff extended heartfelt congratulations to Tamil icon Vijay as his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party grabbed a commanding lead in the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly polls, leading in over 110 seats.
Counting trends on Monday showed TVK surging ahead of DMK’s alliance (52 seats) and AIADMK-led bloc (72 seats), positioning Vijay’s debut party as the single largest force in the 234-seat house. Leading in strongholds like Trichy East and Perumbur, TVK eyes government formation without allies, confident of crossing the 118 majority mark. Chief Minister MK Stalin and son Udhayanidhi trailed in Kolathur and Chepauk, marking a stunning upset in Dravidian-dominated politics.
Tiger’s Warm X Message Goes Viral
Congratulations to @actorvijay 🙌🏼
The faith people have in you is amazing to see. More power to you for this next chapter!💪🏻— Tiger Shroff (@iTIGERSHROFF) May 4, 2026
Tiger took to X (formerly Twitter), posting: “Congratulations to @actorvijay 🙌🏼 The faith people have in you is amazing to see. More power to you for this next chapter! 💪🏻”. The message, shared amid Vijay’s rumored film retirement to focus on politics, resonated widely, highlighting cross-industry camaraderie from their collaborations like Lag Jaa Gale. Fans praised Tiger’s gesture, with comments flooding: “True sportsmanship!” and “Bollywood meets Kollywood power.”
Celeb Support Pours In
The “Thalapathy Vijay tsunami” drew excitement from peers, with Prashant Kishor’s old prediction of Vijay’s rise going viral. TVK’s anti-corruption, youth-focused campaign disrupted the DMK-AIADMK binary, fueled by Vijay’s massive fanbase from blockbusters. As celebrations erupted statewide, Vijay’s clean image and “Whistle Podu” slogan propelled this cinema-to-chief minister leap.
This endorsement from Tiger underscores Vijay’s national pull, bridging entertainment and politics. With TVK nearing victory, Tamil Nadu braces for Thalapathy’s governance era.
