In a heartwarming gesture of cross-industry camaraderie, Megastar Chiranjeevi and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay spoke over a phone call yesterday. Chiranjeevi and Vijay, who have both left indelible marks on South Indian cinema, engaged in a warm conversation that touched upon politics, cinema, and mutual respect.
The conversation came at a significant moment, as Vijay recently became the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu through his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party.
Chiranjeevi Congratulates Vijay on CM Role
During the call, Chiranjeevi conveyed his heartfelt congratulations to Vijay on assuming office as Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister. The Megastar wished him great success in leading a people-centric government and expressed hope that Vijay would earn immense love and admiration from the public, much like the legendary M. G. Ramachandran (MGR), the iconic actor who became one of Tamil Nadu’s most beloved Chief Ministers.
Vijay Praises Chiranjeevi’s Latest Film
In response, Vijay thanked Chiranjeevi and revealed that he had recently watched Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Chiranjeevi’s Sankranti 2026 release directed by Anil Ravipudi. Vijay shared that it was a delightful experience watching Chiranjeevi on screen once again, praising the Megastar’s performance in the family entertainer that also starred Venkatesh.
Support on Jana Nayagan Piracy Issue
Vijay also thanked Chiranjeevi for extending his support regarding the piracy issue surrounding Jana Nayagan.

Vijay concluded the conversation by conveying his best wishes for Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film being produced under the banner of KVN Productions, reflecting the mutual respect between these two cinema legends now charting different paths.
