Tamil Actor Vijay's Political Party Shakes Up Indian Politics in Tamil Nadu

In Tamil Nadu, Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar, fondly called Thalapathy or Senapathy by people, did what shocked everyone in this remote Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Political pundits considered him to be a disruptor in Tamil politics, but no one thought that this reversal would turn the entire Tamil politics 180 degrees. While in South Indian states, actors and actresses have played a big role, but in Tamil Nadu, Karunanidhi, MG Ramachandran and J. Jayalalithaa did not move away from Dravidian politics. The latest results pulled the power away from the Dravidian parties. Popular Tamil film actor Vijay planted the flags of Tamil Swabhimaan Party (TVK) in Tamil Nadu, the stronghold of Dravidian politics. That is also so deep that now no one has the courage to revive Dravidian politics. It is not that other film heroes from Tamil Nadu did not take such a step. Super star Rajinikanth and Vijay Haasan did not think that the popular Tamil film Thalapathy 2 will succeed in Tamil Nadu.
