Vijay, currently the leading star of Tamil cinema, is at a significant turning point in his life. Having recently launched his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), he is preparing to contest the upcoming summer elections. While a transition of this scale requires everything to align in a candidate’s favor, the actor-turned-politician is navigating a series of professional and personal setbacks.
Political Campaign and Initial Hurdles
The journey into active politics hasn’t been without its trials. During the start of his political campaign last September, the Karur tragic incident occurred, which reportedly left Vijay in a state of trauma. It took considerable time for him to process the event and refocus on his political aspirations.
Jana Nayagan Release Delays
On the professional front, Vijay intended to conclude his acting career on a high note with a definitive blockbuster. However, his final film, Jana Nayagan, has faced significant release hurdles. Originally scheduled for January 9th, the movie has yet to hit screens.
Current reports suggest the release may only happen after the elections, meaning his cinematic farewell will not occur before the voting begins as initially planned.
Personal Setbacks and Divorce Proceedings
In addition to his political and professional stress, Vijay is now facing a major personal challenge. Although he and his wife have reportedly been living separately for a few years, she has now officially filed for divorce, including allegations regarding his personal conduct.
Facing a legal and personal battle of this nature at the height of an election year presents a significant hurdle for the TVK leader.
A Critical Time for the TVK Leader
These developments—the Karur incident, the delay of Jana Nayagan, and his ongoing divorce case—have created a difficult environment for the star. As the summer elections approach, the timing of these obstacles marks a challenging phase for Vijay as he attempts to pivot from the silver screen to the political arena.
