As TVK takes an early lead in Tamil Nadu, attention has also turned to Vijay’s academic background. The actor-politician studied at Fathima and Balalok schools and later joined Loyola College for visual communication.
Chennai: Actor-turned-politician Vijay appears to be at the centre of a political moment in Tamil Nadu as early counting trends in the 2026 Assembly election placed his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, firmly in the lead.
As of around 11 am, early trends showed TVK leading in more than 100 seats in the 234-member Assembly, putting the party within striking distance of the majority mark of 118. The numbers, if sustained, would mark an extraordinary debut for Vijay in electoral politics and a major shake-up in the state’s long-standing political landscape.
