History
On 26 June 2009, Vijay launched his fan club, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam, in Pudukkottai to carry out philanthropic activities. The organization supported the AIADMK-led Alliance in the 2011 legislative assembly elections. The fan club organization contested the local body elections in Tamil Nadu in October 2021, securing victory in 115 out of the 169 seats where it took part. On 2 February 2024, Vijay announced the launch of his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, and stated its intent to enter the 2026 elections. Political analysts suggested that the TVK party might expand its reach to other neighbouring states, in the near future. Vijay called the Citizenship (Amendment) Act of 2019 as "unacceptable" as it would disrupt the social and religious harmony of the nation.
