Actor-turned-politician Vijay made headlines with his inaugural venture into politics, as suspenseful as his cinematic appearances, shadowed by a tragic stampede in Karur.
The incident claimed 41 lives, prompting the state government to establish new guidelines for political events and a CBI investigation into Vijay's political rally, five months post-incident.
Despite the challenges, Vijay, leading the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, emerged as a formidable opponent to the DMK, earning accolades for his appeal to first-time voters, particularly youth and women, alongside his charismatic personality and substantial fan base.
