Vijay gets emotional at Madurai maanaadu
Pictures and videos from TVK's Madurai maanaadu began appearing online on Thursday evening. One drone shot of the venue showed that it was packed with thousands of fans turning up to hear Vijay speak. Some fans even broke through security to cheer for him and garland him, even as his security tried to hold them back.
One video in particular that caught everyone's attention was that of Vijay getting emotional at the rally. The actor could be seen smiling but looking overwhelmed and happy at the outpouring of love he was receiving there. Numerous fans shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter), commenting on how touched Vijay looked in the moment.
Another wholesome moment was when Vijay's parents looked proud of their son. In the video, Vijay can be seen holding Chandrasekhar and nodding in excitement. He even held his parents' faces in gratitude, and they gave him a sweet hug in return after he successfully addressed the crowd.
Vijay's future in politics
In February 2024, Vijay publicly announced that he plans to contest the 2026 Tamil Nadu elections through his own party, TVK. In October the same year, he held his first maanaadu, kicking off his political campaign. The actor has made it clear that he will retire from acting and focus on politics in the future.
Last seen in Venkat Prabhu's 2024 film The GOAT in dual roles, H Vinoth's Jana Nayagan is touted to be his last film. The film is slated for release for Pongal 2026.

Telugu film body strike ends after CM's intervention
Hyderabad: The nearly three-week-long strike by the Telugu Film Industry Employees Federation, which brought film shooting in the region to a standstill, was called off on Thursday following the intervention of chief minister A Revanth Reddy. The CM engaged with all sections of the Telugu film industry, holding meetings with producers and representatives of the striking unions. After inquiring into the primary issues that led to the strike, he ensured that a "common solution acceptable to all stakeholders" was reached, resulting in the strike being called off. Revanth had also emphasised that the incumbent Congress govt, with the cooperation of the film industry, aims to transform Hyderabad into one of India's leading film hubs and a true film capital.

"The film industry will have a dedicated chapter in the Congress govt's Telangana Rising vision document, which aims to achieve $3 trillion economy. This vision document will be unveiled on or before December 9 this year," the chief minister said. The Telugu film industry had come to a complete halt since August 4, after the employees' federation launched a strike demanding a wage increase. Producers had suspended all shoots, with the film chamber stating it could not accommodate the workers' demand for a 30% pay rise. The strike had prompted several production houses to consider relocating from Hyderabad. The city serves as a production centre for Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, and other language films.

BJP leaders urge CM to back CPR for vice-president post
Chennai: Tamil Nadu BJP leaders called on chief minister M K Stalin to reconsider his stand and support NDA 's Vice-Presidential nominee C P Radhakrishnan, urging cross-party unity. In Tirunelveli, BJP state president Nainar Nagenthran described CPR as an "honest Tamil" and said supporting his candidature was a responsibility for every Tamilian. "Stalin often speaks of Tamil pride. If he means it, he must support CPR's nomination. Otherwise, it will remain empty rhetoric," he said, adding that he wrote to the chief minister formally requesting his support.

"INDI Alliance candidate is also an honourable man who is a former Supreme Court judge. But CPR is better equipped in constitutional matters and commands respect across regions. There is still time for CM Stalin to reconsider," he said. On a separate issue, when asked about the Bill enabling the removal of ministers jailed for over 30 days, Annamalai welcomed it. "It applies equally to Prime Ministers, chief ministers, and state ministers. India lacked a mechanism to remove a minister in custody. This bill fixes that gap," he said.

TVK meet turnout indicates youth's joblessness: Seeman
Chennai/Trichy: NTK chief Seeman sharpened his attack on both DMK and TVK, questioning their political positions and accusing them of selective politics. Turning his ire on Vijay's TVK, Seeman dismissed the notion that destroying DMK could be a party's core plank. "If you are going to do the same politics as DMK and AIADMK, why should TVK exist? Will we see Jayalalithaa or EPS projected again in the same manner tomorrow," he asked. On TVK's Madurai conference, Seeman said the early arrival of thousands of cadres only revealed the depth of youth unemployment in TN. He questioned TVK's stance against hereditary politics, referring to Vijay's silence on Congress despite its Nehru-Gandhi lineage. "Honesty demands calling out every party that practises dynasty politics," he said.

"When they were in alliance with BJP, they had no objection to policies or even the use of Sanskrit-based terms in Parliament. Why raise these issues now," he asked, alleging that law and order in the state has deteriorated under DMK. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
