A new history is being created today in Tamil Nadu politics. The initial trends of the ongoing vote counting for the Assembly elections 2026 have surprised everyone. Actor-turned-politician Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), is taking a decisive lead in its very first election, giving a tough fight to both the big Dravidian parties in the state (DMK and AIADMK).
Election blast: CM Stalin behind, Vijay ahead
According to the latest trends, ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay is not only leading in his seat, but his party is emerging in the role of ‘kingmaker’ by taking lead in more than 100 seats. The biggest upset is being seen in Kolathur seat, where Chief Minister M.K. Stalin is trailing the TVK candidate.

Kajal Aggarwal: Referring to Vijay’s famous dialogue, he wrote, “This moment is a proof of your vision, dedication and your unwavering love for the people. Tamil Nadu has spoken with pride.”
Vijay Deverakonda: Expressing his excitement, the ‘Arjun Reddy’ fame actor wrote, “I am very excited to see this new phase and new face of Tamil Nadu politics.”
Apart from this, artists like Nikhil Siddharth, Aju Varghese and Sibi Sathyaraj have also sent their best wishes to ‘Thalapathy’.
Will ‘Jana Nayakan’ become a real life hero?
There is a lot of discussion about Vijay’s last film ‘Jana Nayakan’ on the film screen. The film starring Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol was stuck due to censor board issues, but now there are reports that it may release on May 8, 2026.
Special point: An interesting coincidence is that in the film, Vijay plays the role of a hero who has the power to change the system, and today’s election results are actually indicating something similar.

The record turnout of 92.47% and these trends on May 4 have made it clear that the people of Tamil Nadu have wholeheartedly accepted the ‘third option’. If TVK gets close to the majority mark (118), Vijay can take oath as Chief Minister on May 7. At present, the entire Tamil Nadu and the film corridor is immersed in the celebration of this historic victory of ‘Thalapathy’.
