Actor-turned-politician Vijay, chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), on Thursday filed his nomination from the Tiruchi East constituency, marking a key moment in the ongoing Assembly election campaign. The move was accompanied by a high-visibility roadshow, drawing significant public attention in the region.
Vijay’s nomination is being closely watched, as it represents his direct electoral entry in a politically competitive environment. His campaign has so far focused on public outreach and mobilising grassroots support, with the roadshow in Tiruchi serving as a major show of strength.
Visuals from the event showed large crowds lining the streets as Vijay greeted supporters during the procession. Party workers and volunteers were seen participating in significant numbers, indicating early momentum in the constituency.

The Tiruchi East seat is expected to witness a multi-cornered contest, with established political parties also fielding strong candidates. Vijay’s candidature adds a new dynamic to the race, potentially influencing voter alignment, especially among younger voters and first-time participants.
While TVK is still building its organisational base, the party’s campaign strategy appears to rely heavily on direct engagement and visibility. The coming days are likely to see intensified campaigning, with rival parties responding to the development.
With nomination filings underway across constituencies, the political atmosphere in Tamil Nadu is steadily heating up. Vijay’s entry into the electoral contest is expected to remain a key talking point as the campaign progresses.
