Chandrasekaran Joseph Vijay (born 22 June 1974) is an Indian politician and former actor who is currently serving as the ninth chief minister of Tamil Nadu since May 2026. He is the founder and president of the political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Prior to entering politics, he was a leading actor in Tamil cinema and among the highest-paid actors in India, having won numerous accolades including multiple Tamil Nadu State Film Awards and South Indian International Movie Awards.

Following a stint as a child actor in the 1980s, Vijay made his debut as a leading man in Naalaiya Theerpu (1992), directed by his father S. A. Chandrasekhar. He rose to fame with romance films such as Poove Unakkaga (1996) and Kadhalukku Mariyadhai (1997), Thullatha Manamum Thullum (1999), Kushi (2000) before transitioning into an action star with Thirumalai (2003), Ghilli (2004), Thirupaachi (2005) and Pokkiri (2007). From the 2010s onward, he starred in major commercial successes—including Thuppakki (2012), Kaththi (2014), Theri (2016), Mersal (2017), Master (2021), Leo (2023) and The Greatest of All Time (2024)—which rank among the highest-grossing Tamil films.

Beyond his film career, Vijay cultivated fan following, which he consolidated into the social welfare organisation Vijay Makkal Iyakkam (VMI) in 2009. Through VMI, he engaged in extensive philanthropic activities across Tamil Nadu. In many of his later films, such as Kaththi (2014) and Sarkar (2018), he cultivated the image of an angry protagonist fighting against corruption, injustice, and social inequality, which frequently brought him into conflict with the state's ruling political establishment.[1]

In February 2024, Vijay announced his retirement from cinema and his formal entry into politics. He launched the TVK, a secular alternative to the established Dravidian parties. In a watershed moment for Tamil Nadu politics, the TVK secured 108 seats in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election, emerging as the single-largest party and breaking the half-century-long electoral duopoly of the DMK and the AIADMK.[2][3] With the support of several smaller allied parties, Vijay was sworn in as chief minister on 10 May 2026.

Vijay played the lead role for the first time in Naalaiya Theerpu at the age of 18 in 1992.[16] The film failed at the box office, with Vijay receiving bitter criticism for his looks and performance. Chandrasekhar decided then to cast him alongside an established heroTemplate:EmdashVijayakanth, who agreed to the projectTemplate:Emdashin Senthoorapandi (1993). The film was a hit, boosting Vijay's popularity with the masses.[17] In 1994, Rasigan ran for more than 175 days in theatres. Directed again by his father, Vijay became popular as "Ilaya Thalapathy" (Young Commander).[18] In 1995, Chandrasekhar directed Deva, with his son cast in the leading role.

In early 1996, the romantic comedy film Coimbatore Mappillai was a hit at the box office.[23] This was followed by Poove Unakkaga, directed by Vikraman, which according to him, gave him his initial break and popularity.[24] His subsequent films that year were Vasantha Vaasal, Maanbumigu Maanavan and Selvaa.

2003–2011: Established actor

Vijay began 2003 with Vaseegara and Pudhiya Geethai.[37] The success of his masala film Thirumalai changed his on-screen persona into an action hero.

Thirumalai was considered a turning point in Vijay's career.[38] In 2004, after several delays, the film Udhaya was released.[39] Then, Vijay appeared in Ghilli, directed by S. Dharani, alongside Trisha and Prakash Raj.[40] The movie was a commercial success, became the first Tamil film to gross over Template:INR500 million at the domestic box office, and also broke the recordTemplate:Emdashpreviously held by M. G. Ramachandran's Adimai Penn (1969)Template:Emdashfor the most people watching the movie within the first week of its release.[41][42][43] Following this, he performed in Madhurey.[44] Next, Vijay starred in Perarasu's 2005 blockbuster and directorial debut film Thirupaachi.[45] Then, Vijay had an extended cameo as a lawyer in the action film Sukran (2005).[46][47] Later, he starred in the commercially successful films Sachein (2005) and Sivakasi (2005).[44] Then, he starred in Aathi (2006).

Music career

Template:Main

Vijay is considered as one of the most prolific singers among Tamil actors.[123][124] He has sung for various composers including Ilaiyaraaja, and A. R. Rahman.[125][126] He made his singing debut with the song "Bombay City Sukkha Rotti" in Rasigan (1994). After recording his 25th song, "Vaadi Vaadi" in Sachein (2005), he took a sabbatical from singing to concentrate on acting. He made a comeback with the track "Google Google" in Thuppakki (2012), which earned him the award for the favourite song of the year at the Vijay Awards,[127] and a nomination for the best play back singer in the South Indian International Movie Awards.[128] In 2015, he was nominated for the Best Playback Singer award in the Filmfare Award South for the song "Yaendi Yaendi".[129] The following year, he was nominated again in the same category for his performance in the song "Selfie Pulla".[130]

Political career

In 2009, Vijay launched his fan club Vijay Makkal Iyakkam.[131][132] The organisation supported the AIADMK-led alliance in the 2011 Tamil Nadu assembly elections.[133] In February 2019, Vijay voiced his opinion against the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 passed by the central government, saying that it would disrupt the social religious harmony of the nation.[134]

Members of his fan club contested in the 2022 Tamil Nadu local elections, securing victory in 115 seats.[135] On 2 February 2024, Vijay announced the launch of his political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).[136][137]

On 27 September 2025, 41 people died in a crowd crush during a political rally addressed by Vijay in Karur.[138] He condoled the deaths and later announced ex-gratia payments to the next of kin of the dead and the injured.[139] In October 2025, the Supreme Court transferred this case to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), though the Tamil Nadu Government urged the Supreme Court to vacate its order [140] [141] In January 2026, Vijay was questioned twice by the CBI at their Delhi headquarters on January 12 and January 19, about the incidence, including his delayed arrival to the rally and his decision to leave early after the situation worsened.[142] [143][144]

He was questioned for the third time in March 2026, again at CBI Headquarters at Delhi. [145][146]

On 30 January 2026, Vijay stated that his role models include M. G. Ramachandran, J. Jayalalithaa and M. Karunanidhi, in his first interview with the national media outlet NDTV since entering politics.[147]

Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu (2026–present)

Template:Further

The Vijay-led TVK made its debut appearance in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election. The party emerged as the single largest party in the assembly, marking a significant change in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, which had long been dominated by Dravidian parties. Vijay contested from two constituencies, Perambur and Trichy East and was elected from both. He later resigned from the Trichy East seat, choosing to retain the Perambur constituency.[148] Vijay became the first Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu since Jayalalithaa in 1991 to contest and win from two constituencies, later vacating one of the seats.[149]

On 6 May 2026, Vijay met the Governor and submitted a formal claim to form the government, asserting that TVK possessed the requisite majority. However, the Governor was not satisfied with the party's majority claims and did not extend an invitation to Vijay to form the government on 7 May 2026. This development raises questions around the verification of legislative support, gubernatorial discretion, and adherence to established constitutional conventions in government formation.[150]

On 10 May 2026, Vijay was sworn in as the ninth Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, putting an end to six decades of dominance of the Dravidian parties in the state. The government is being formed as a coalition government with Congress as a partner, while the parties including VCK, CPI, CPI(M), IUML extending outside support to TVK, while continuing their alliance with the DMK-led SPA.[151][152]

Personal life

Marriage, relationships, and friendships

Vijay married Sankgeetha Sornalingam, a Sri Lankan-born British Tamil who was born to an affluent business family, on 25 August 1999.[153][154] Their marriage was arranged after Sankgeetha met Vijay as a fan on the sets of Kaalamellam Kaathiruppen (1997) and their families became acquainted. They have two children: a son (Jason Sanjay) and a daughter (Dhivya Sasha).[155][156] Jason Sanjay is an upcoming film director who will be making his debut in the film Sigma and previously appeared in the film Vettaikkaaran alongside his father, while Dhivya Sasha also appeared alongside her father in the film Theri.[157][156]

In 2025, Sankgeetha filed for divorce.[158][159][14] In 2026, she filed a petition alleging that Vijay had denied her entry to their matrimonial home and committed infidelity with an unnamed actress.[160][161][162] The petition attracted media attention after Vijay appeared at an event with actress Trisha Krishnan.[161][163][164]

Supporting actors Sanjeev Venkat, Sriman, and Srinath have been close friends with Vijay since college and have appeared in several of his films. Playback singer S. N. Surendar is a maternal uncle of Vijay, while actor and cricketer Vikranth is one of Vijay's cousins, though the latter has never collaborated in any films together with Vijay. Tamil Nadu former deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, who produced Vijay's film Kuruvi, described Vijay as "a close friend" since childhood.[165] The two would eventually become political rivals after Vijay's Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam contested and campaigned against Udhayanithi's father and the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M. K. Stalin.

Wealth and earnings

Vijay is among the highest paid actors in Tamil cinema.[166][167] Template:As of, Vijay's net worth was above Template:INRconvert.[168] He earned a Template:INRconvert salary for Beast and also earned an estimated Template:INRconvert to Template:INRconvert salary for Varisu.[169][170] In 2023, he reportedly received a Template:INRconvert salary for The Greatest Of All Time, becoming one of the top paid actors in India.[171]

Tax litigation

In 2015, the Income Tax Department conducted a search at actor Vijay's premises, leading to the disclosure of an additional ₹15 crore in income for the financial year 2015–16 including the payments related to the movie Puli. Although Vijay paid tax on the disclosed amount, the department later imposed a penalty of ₹1.5 crore under Section 271AAB(1) of the Income Tax Act, stating the disclosure was made only after the search. Vijay challenged the penalty before the Madras High Court in 2022, arguing that the penalty proceedings were time-barred. The Income Tax Department opposed the petition, maintaining the penalty was valid. As of 2025, the matter remains pending, with interim protection granted against recovery of the penalty.[172][173][174]

On 5 February 2020, the Income Tax Department raided Vijay's residence in Chennai on potential tax evasion and his investments in immovable properties.[175][176] Later, the officials stated that nothing significant was found during the raid.[177] On 13 July 2021, the Madras High Court dismissed a writ petition filed by Vijay in 2012 seeking exemption of the Entry Tax for his Rolls-Royce Ghost car that was imported from the United Kingdom and imposed a fine of Template:INRconvert.[178] On 27 July 2021, a two-judge bench of Madras High court stayed the earlier order.[179] On 25 January 2022, the court dismissed the critical statements made by the earlier judge and on 15 July 2022, the court declared that no fine shall be imposed.[180][181][182]
