Veteran actor and Rajya Sabha MP Kamal Haasan met Vijay, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, and extended his heartfelt wishes during a warm and respectful interaction. The meeting has now become a major talking point in both political and cinema circles across the state.
A Historic Political Transition
The meeting comes weeks after Vijay made history by becoming Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister on May 10, 2026, breaking the six-decade-long DMK-AIADMK duopoly. The actor-turned-politician’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) secured a decisive mandate in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, marking a new chapter in the state’s political landscape.
Sharing details about the interaction, Kamal Haasan revealed that Vijay spoke passionately about his dreams and vision for the development of Tamil Nadu. He appreciated the Chief Minister’s humility, affection, and the positive energy he carried throughout the meeting.
Six Requests for Tamil Film Industry
Kamal Haasan also used the opportunity to highlight the ongoing struggles faced by the Tamil film industry. He stressed the need for stronger support and encouragement from the Tamil Nadu government for the welfare and growth of the industry, which has been facing multiple challenges in recent times.
The actor-politician reportedly submitted six important requests to the Chief Minister on behalf of the film fraternity. While the details of the requests are yet to be officially disclosed, the move has sparked curiosity and hope among industry members who have been seeking government intervention on various issues.
Kamal Haasan’s Support for CM Vijay
This meeting reflects the growing collaboration between Kamal Haasan and Vijay on matters concerning Tamil Nadu’s development. Earlier, Kamal Haasan publicly praised CM Vijay's decision to shut down 717 liquor shops across the state, calling it “a matter of pride” and appreciating the immediate action taken after assuming office.
Concluding his statement on a positive note after meeting Vijay, Kamal Haasan expressed hope for better days ahead, saying that good things should flourish for both Tamil Nadu and the Tamil film industry under the new government’s leadership.
