Popular Tamil actor Vijay is all set to embark on his first state-wide political tour from Tiruchi on Saturday (September 13, 2025), more than a year after floating the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam in February 2024.
After two state conferences — at Vikravandi and Madurai — Vijay is now hitting the road, projecting himself as a game changer in the 2026 elections.
In the forenoon, Vijay is set to address a big gathering from a custom-made bus at Marakkadai junction, once a regular public meeting venue but now a congested tri-junction in the old City limits. Interestingly, the venue falls in Tiruchi East Assembly segment, a compact constituency with significant minority population. Speculation is rife among the partymen that it is one of the constituencies that could be considered by the actor to contest from. The seat is currently held by S.Inigo Irudhayaraj of Christhuva Nallenna Iyakkam, who won on the DMK symbol in 2021.

The police had granted permission for the meeting with a set of 23 conditions, drawing sharp criticism from the actor.
