Vijay, who is also the chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, recently visited the Tiruchendur Murugan Temple. During his visit, he offered prayers and was honoured by temple authorities with a Vel, which is a symbolic spear associated with Lord Murugan. For the occasion, Vijay was dressed in traditional attire, wearing a silk veshti and shirt.
A large number of fans gathered near the temple to see him. As he left, Vijay acknowledged the crowd by waving at them through the sunroof of his car. Photos and videos from the visit have been widely shared on social media, showing the scale of public interest in his appearance.
The visit has gained attention because it comes just days before the Tamil Nadu assembly election results, which are scheduled to be announced on May 4. Vijay’s political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, has been actively campaigning, and early projections suggest it could secure a vote share between 15% and 20%. If this happens, it could mark a significant shift in the state’s political landscape, which has long been dominated by two major Dravidian parties.

For now, the strong turnout of Vijay’s supporters has been noticeable during the campaign. However, it remains to be seen whether this support will translate into electoral success. The final outcome will become clear once the results are declared.
Alongside his political activities, Vijay is also preparing for the release of his upcoming film Jana Nayagan. The release date of the film has not yet been announced.
