Watch the video below:

The actor, in February, announced that he will be forming the party named Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), which translates to Tamil Nadu’s Victory Party. Vijay emphasised the need for political power to carry out social work more effectively, despite the ongoing efforts of his fan club, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam. He has mentioned he’ll quit films.

“You all are well aware of the political situation of Tamil Nadu. On one side, we have a dysfunctional administration and corrupt political culture, and on the other, we have divisive politics that aims to divide people along the lines of caste, creed, and religion. Both impede our progress. It is uncontestable truth that people, more so in Tamil Nadu, are longing for a change in a political scenario and want a selfless, honest, secular and talented party to bring about a change. In this case, it is my long-term intention and desire to help the people of Tamil Nadu and the Tamil community, who gave me name, fame, and everything after my parents, as much as I can,” the statement read.

“Politics is not just another career for me. It is a sacred people’s work. I have been preparing myself for it for a long time. Politics is not a hobby for me. That is my deepest desire. I want to fully involve myself in it,” the actor said in the statement.
