Tamil Nadu CM’s Delhi visit
Notably, the post comes amid Vijay’s first official visit to New Delhi after becoming Tamil Nadu CM earlier this month. On Wednesday, he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in what marked their first official meeting since the formation of the new Tamil Nadu government. During his visit, Vijay also visited Tamil Nadu House, where he received a ceremonial guard of honour.
Vijay secured a trust vote on May 13 with the support of Congress, CPI, CPI(M), VCK and IUML legislators, cementing his rise in state politics.
The actor-politician has now joined the league of iconic actor-turned-CMs of Tamil Nadu like MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa. His party, TVK, caused a major political earthquake in Tamil Nadu by beating both Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
Meanwhile, Vijay’s fans are now awaiting the release of his film Jana Nayagan, which has been billed as his final movie before entering politics. The movie, which also stars Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol, was set to release in theatres on January 9, but got delayed after certification issues with CBFC. It is now reported to be released on June 19, but there has been no official confirmation so far.
