TVK chief Vijay is set to address his third major rally in Namakkal and Karur, drawing large crowds and positioning the upcoming state elections as a direct contest between his party and the ruling DMK. This has intensified the political climate in Tamil Nadu, with the DMK and its allies openly criticising the actor-turned-politician. Deputy Chief Minister Udayanidhi Stalin labelled Vijay a "weekend politician" for his Saturday rallies. DMK’s ally, MDMK chief Vaiko, questioned if the actor’s popularity would translate into electoral support, stating, "people gather to see an actor, crowd will not transform into votes." The central debate now focuses on whether the significant turnout at Vijay’s events signifies a genuine political shift or merely cinematic fandom.
