Vijay’s film career and politics

Vijay debuted as a lead actor in the 1992 film Naalaiya Theerpu and has become one of the biggest stars in Tamil cinema. Through the years, he acted in successful hits like Coimbatore Mappillai, Love Today, Kushi, and Ghilli. He was most recently seen in Venkat Prabhu’s The Greatest of All Time, which was released in theaters on September 5.

Many wondered if The GOAT would be his last film, but it looks like the actor has agreed to sign on for one more film before focusing on politics. In February this year, Vijay announced the launch of his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. The Election Commission officially registered it as a party in September this year. Previously, the producers shared a poster claiming that Vijay will play the ‘torch bearer of democracy’ in his final film.
