After the meeting, Khushbu spoke to reporters and said, “I felt very emotional seeing my brother, Vijay as our Chief Minister. We can now witness a transparent government where everyone is working toward one goal serving the people. This feeling of seeing your brother as the CM is surreal.”

Vijay has joined the league of iconic actor-turned-leaders like NT Rama Rao, MG Ramachandran, and J Jayalalithaa. TVK caused a major political earthquake in Tamil Nadu by beating both Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), the two main players in the state for decades.

Meanwhile, Vijay’s final film, Jana Nayagan, ran into issues with the CBFC and has yet to hit screens after being postponed from its intended January release. However, the latest update on the Tamil film's release date is that the title has now been updated on several ticketing websites. On the ticket booking platform District, the release date of Jana Nayagan now reads June 19.

There has been no official confirmation of the release date of Jana Nayagan so far. The makers, KVN Productions, have not released any statement on the release yet. It also stars Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol. In April, several scenes from Jana Nayagan were leaked online amid the long tussle to release it in theatres. HD prints of the full film were uploaded to piracy sites. The leak, which came just before Vijay’s entry into politics with the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, rattled the Tamil film industry. The police have made 9 arrests in the case so far.
