Actress Trisha Krishnan drew attention with her latest public appearance at the Independence Day celebrations at Fort St. George in Chennai.

Trisha was seen seated alongside Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's parents and interacting with them before Vijay's arrival at the event. The appearance has sparked fresh discussion online, given the longstanding popularity of Trisha and Vijay as an on-screen pairing.

The two actors have shared the screen in several Tamil films, including Ghilli, Thirupaachi, Aathi and Kuruvi. However, despite recurring speculation about their personal relationship, neither Trisha nor Vijay has publicly confirmed a romantic relationship.

Trisha Seen With Vijay's Parents At Independence Day Event | Latest Appearance Sparks Fresh Buzz

Thalapathy Vijay’s much-awaited film Jana Nayagan has finally arrived in theaters, creating a massive celebration across Tamil Nadu. Directed by H. Vinoth, the political action drama has been in the spotlight as Vijay’s final film before entering full-time politics. Fans gathered outside theaters for the first-day-first-show celebrations, with grand events featuring music, drone light shows, cake cutting, dancing, and emotional tributes. The release became even more special when Japanese fans joined celebrations at a Chennai theater, cheering for Vijay alongside local fans and bringing an international flavor to the event.

With barely two years of experience in politics, Vijay's fledgling political party Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam(TVK) won the April 2026 Assembly polls, and he assumed office as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister in May 2026.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

A still from Jana Nayagan

<p> </p><p> </p><p>As much as the film is meant to give hardcore Vijay fans their money's worth in terms of action, these predominantly gory fight sequences are also interspersed with sentimental scenes or tragedies or triumphant moments. However, the central messaging is clear: protagonist Thalapathy Vetri Kondan has a magic bullet to address every issue that exists. Literally speaking, it need not always be a bullet. Often, the solution happens to in the form of a sword, a machete, a whip, a rusted iron pipe and what not! From ragtag rowdies to suit-boot baddies, Thalapathy Vetri Kondan beats them all, amply aided and abetted by the beats of Anirudh Ravichander's music. The score adds heft to all these sequences and helps adequately elevate them into fan-favourite "mass moments".</p>

<p>Seen from the perspective of a political film, <i>Jana Nayagan</i> also makes blatant attempts to position Vijay as a political successor of the late Chief Minister MG Ramachandran(popularly known as MGR), who is widely the most famous actor-politician in Tamil Nadu. There are scenes where the protagonist is prominently juxtaposed with MGR's image; the protagonist sings MGR songs while beating up corrupt politicians. Things even reach a point where a framed photo of MGR appears to speak to the protagonist, Thalapathy Vetri Kondan, and even hands him a whip to lash the baddies. Well, it just doesn't stop with the Late MGR. Even Ministers from Chief Minister Vijay's cabinet in Tamil Nadu are seen making appearances in song sequences or crucial moments.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Though the film did include a few themes related to women's empowerment, they too were based on the male protagonist's worldview and not based on the will and wishes of the female lead(played by Mamitha Baiju). Ironically, the same film features another female lead (played by Pooja Hegde), which lacked any depth or purpose, other than falling instantaneously in love with the protagonist. Another female lead(the IAS Officer character played by Priyamani) did have a role of some significance in the larger plot. However, her screen time lasted barely a few fleeting moments. It almost felt like a case of too little, too late.</p>

<p> </p><p>While Bobby Deol played the villain character well, poor writing appeared not to do justice to his talent and ability. Though there is an attempt to showcase an elaborate backstory to establish this villain character, it tends to veer more towards tiresome territory. Similarly, Prakash Raj was made to play a corrupt politician, a role that he has played in innumerable films. However, that too felt inadequate because of the writing.</p><p> </p><p>For the Thalapathy Vijay maniacs(Thalapathy Veriyans, as they are called in Tamil), <i>Jana Nayagan</i> could certainly offer many big mass moments to celebrate while viewing on the big screen with the blaring BGM. However, even that grand celebration risks getting drowned in a plot that force-fits too many themes and too many characters.</p>

Jana Nayagan attempts to solve every conceivable issue—from local corruption and mining mafias to international terrorism and AI warfare—by framing Vijay’s character as the sole saviour for all problems. Is it a befitting finale to Vijay's acting career, though? Let's find out.

Jana Nayagan movie review: Thalapathy Vijay deserved a sharper send-off

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's much-awaited final film Jana Nayagan has finally hit theatres after months of delays and a major online leak controversy. Director H. Vinoth dismissed allegations that the leak was politically motivated ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, calling the claims baseless. Massive celebrations erupted across Chennai as thousands of fans gathered outside theatres for Vijay's last film before fully entering politics.

Watch the latest updates on Jana Nayagan's release, leak controversy, political reactions, fan celebrations, box office expectations, and Vijay's transition from cinema to politics.

Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's final film Jana Nayagan hits theatres after massive leak controversy 

Over the past two months, the Vijay-led government has repeatedly emphasized transparency and clean governance. However, bringing individuals with controversial records into the party could invite scrutiny over the government's commitment to those principles and highlight a disconnect between its promises and actions. At the same time, the administration is facing allegations of horse-trading to secure a majority in the 234-member Assembly, as the TVK continues to induct AIADMK MLAs who have resigned from their seats. Six former AIADMK legislators have already joined the TVK, with more defections expected in the coming weeks.

Tamil Nadu political crisis: Vijay's swearing-in ceremony delayed again? All we know

<p>Tamil Nadu is in the grip of a full-blown constitutional crisis after the Governor refused to invite actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) to form a government despite it winning 108 seats and emerging as the single-largest party. This comes as rival parties huddle behind closed doors to explore alternatives that would effectively deny TVK the power it believes the public mandate has conferred on it. The TVK has responded with a stark threat: if either the DMK or AIADMK attempts to stake claim to the government, every TVK MLA, all 108 of them will resign. The warning came after reports confirmed that top DMK figures are actively considering a scenario in which AIADMK chief E Palaniswami becomes Chief Minister with DMK's outside support, an arrangement that would unite two parties that have spent decades as bitter rivals, and that would shut out the party that received the most votes.</p><p><strong>Also read | </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/not-the-first-time-chandranath-rath-is-not-the-only-suvendu-adhikari-aide-to-die-under-mysterious-circumstances-all-details-here-pradip-jha-1778139182978"><strong>Not the first time?

The Governor's position is that TVK has not demonstrated it commands a majority, and he has insisted Vijay produce letters of support from 118 legislators, the threshold required to form government, before any swearing-in ceremony is arranged. TVK currently has 108 seats, plus five more with Congress's five MLAs already in its corner and negotiations underway with Left parties and smaller outfits for the remaining numbers. The party is now reportedly considering approaching the courts.</p><p>"The requisite majority support in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, essential for forming the Government, has not been established," Raj Bhavan said in a communique.</p><h2><strong>'Inappropriate'</strong></h2><p>Constitutional experts and TVK's allies have pushed back hard on the Governor's stance. The CPI called it "inappropriate," citing the Supreme Court's landmark SR Bommai judgment, which established that the floor of the assembly, not the Governor's office, is the proper place to test a majority.</p><p>Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) chief Thol Thirumavalavan was pointed in his criticism. "The Governor cannot demand a list of people supporting TVK. He cannot say, 'Who is supporting you? Bring 118 and prove it to me, then come for the swearing-in ceremony.'" The outgoing DMK called the Governor's decision "unacceptable" and "a disrespect" to the mandate. Actor Kamal Haasan also voiced public support for Vijay.</p><p><strong>Also read | </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/thalapathy-vijay-mgr-rajnikanth-and-more-south-indian-superstars-who-turned-fan-power-into-political-parties-tvk-aiadmk-tamil-nadu-election-mgr-ntr-1778133323852"><strong>Thalapathy Vijay, MGR, Rajnikanth and more: South Indian superstars who turned fan power into political parties</strong></a></p><h2><strong>What are DMK and AIDMK up to?</strong></h2><p>Within the DMK, however, the picture is more complicated. The party passed four resolutions Thursday, including one authorising chief MK Stalin to take "emergency decisions," and asked all its MLAs to remain in Chennai until May 10. Top party sources confirmed to NDTV that a Palaniswami-led government with DMK support is being actively discussed, driven in part by fears among younger party leaders, particularly those aligned with Udhayanidhi Stalin, that if Vijay takes power, he could dominate Tamil Nadu politics for a generation the way MGR did, keeping the DMK out of power for as long as he remained active. Older DMK leaders, including Stalin himself, are said to be less convinced, worried about the public backlash of such an unlikely alliance.</p><p>The AIADMK, for its part, has told its 45-plus MLAs to wait and observe. While a section within the party is open to aligning with TVK, senior leadership has firmly ruled it out. Palaniswami told his MLAs Thursday there is no relation between TVK and AIADMK and no question of poaching at this point, asking them to remain calm for at least two more days.</p><p>The coming 48 hours are likely to be decisive. TVK is racing to assemble the numbers it needs to satisfy the Governor. Its opponents are racing to find an arrangement that prevents that from happening. And somewhere in the middle, Tamil Nadu's electorate is waiting to find out whether the verdict it delivered at the polls will actually determine who governs the state.</p>

Tamil Nadu is staring at a constitutional showdown. Despite emerging as the single largest party with 108 seats, Vijay’s TVK is still being kept from power, and now rival camps may unite in an extraordinary bid to block him. TVK’s warning: deny the mandate, and all 108 MLAs resign.

Before Chandranath Rath, three other Suvendu Adhikari aides died under mysterious circumstances | All details here Governor denies TVK chance to form government without proven majority Governor RV Arlekar met Vijay for the second time in two days on Thursday (May 7), and again declined to allow him to proceed. The Governor's position is that TVK has not demonstrated it commands a majority, and he has insisted Vijay produce letters of support from 118 legislators, the threshold required to form government, before any swearing-in ceremony is arranged. TVK currently has 108 seats, plus five more with Congress's five MLAs already in its corner and negotiations underway with Left parties and smaller outfits for the remaining numbers. The party is now reportedly considering approaching the courts. "The requisite majority support in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, essential for forming the Government, has not been established," Raj Bhavan said in a communique. 'Inappropriate' Constitutional experts and TVK's allies have pushed back hard on the Governor's stance. The CPI called it "inappropriate," citing the Supreme Court's landmark SR Bommai judgment, which established that the floor of the assembly, not the Governor's office, is the proper place to test a majority. Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) chief Thol Thirumavalavan was pointed in his criticism. "The Governor cannot demand a list of people supporting TVK. He cannot say, 'Who is supporting you? Bring 118 and prove it to me, then come for the swearing-in ceremony.'" The outgoing DMK called the Governor's decision "unacceptable" and "a disrespect" to the mandate. Actor Kamal Haasan also voiced public support for Vijay.

Within the DMK, however, the picture is more complicated. The party passed four resolutions Thursday, including one authorising chief MK Stalin to take "emergency decisions," and asked all its MLAs to remain in Chennai until May 10. Top party sources confirmed to NDTV that a Palaniswami-led government with DMK support is being actively discussed, driven in part by fears among younger party leaders, particularly those aligned with Udhayanidhi Stalin, that if Vijay takes power, he could dominate Tamil Nadu politics for a generation the way MGR did, keeping the DMK out of power for as long as he remained active. Older DMK leaders, including Stalin himself, are said to be less convinced, worried about the public backlash of such an unlikely alliance. The AIADMK, for its part, has told its 45-plus MLAs to wait and observe. While a section within the party is open to aligning with TVK, senior leadership has firmly ruled it out. Palaniswami told his MLAs Thursday there is no relation between TVK and AIADMK and no question of poaching at this point, asking them to remain calm for at least two more days. The coming 48 hours are likely to be decisive. TVK is racing to assemble the numbers it needs to satisfy the Governor. Its opponents are racing to find an arrangement that prevents that from happening. And somewhere in the middle, Tamil Nadu's electorate is waiting to find out whether the verdict it delivered at the polls will actually determine who governs the state.

<p>Tamil Nadu is staring at a constitutional showdown. Despite emerging as the single largest party with 108 seats, Vijay’s TVK is still being kept from power, and now rival camps may unite in an extraordinary bid to block him. TVK’s warning: deny the mandate, and all 108 MLAs resign.</p>

He stated that Vijay had disclosed assets worth over ₹100 crore in the affidavit filed in Perambur, while the affidavit filed in Trichy East showed assets worth over ₹200 crores, raising questions about the mismatch in the declared assets and sought a probe in this regard. "This is an irregularity. More than ₹100 crores has not been disclosed in one constituency," the Judges said, while while posting the case to the following week. Recently, cases of similar nature have been filed before the Madras High Court, alleging discrepancies in assets declared by popular candidates including DMK leader and Tamil Nadu Deputy chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, BJP Leader Tamilisai Soundararajan, who had earlier held Gubernatorial posts. Following his political foray, Vijay has been facing various setbacks. Vijay has had to appear before the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with a deadly stampede at his political even in Karur, Tamil Nadu, where 41 people lost their lives. It was Vijay's party that sought a CBI probe into the incident. Scheduled for a January 2026 release, Vijay's big-budget film 'Jana Nayagan' ran into trouble with the censor board, was tangled in a Court battle, and there is no clarity so far on its release date.
