Chennai, December 30:
AIADMK leader Sellur K. Raj on Monday expressed concerns over actor-turned-politician Vijay, cautioning that he should avoid the political trajectory of veteran actor Kamal Haasan, who faced challenges in establishing a strong foothold in Tamil Nadu politics. Sellur stated that while Vijay enjoys immense popularity among fans, transitioning from cinema to politics requires careful planning and strategic alliances, adding that celebrity status alone cannot guarantee electoral success. His remarks come amid growing speculation about Vijay’s political ambitions in the state.
Political analysts observed that Sellur’s warning reflects the sensitive dynamics of Tamil Nadu politics, where film stars often enter politics with high public expectations but encounter organisational and electoral hurdles. The statement is likely to spark debate among party cadres and the general public, as Vijay continues to enjoy a massive fan following. Observers noted that his political approach in the coming months could determine whether he replicates the success of predecessors or faces challenges similar to Kamal Haasan, highlighting the broader complexities of celebrity-led political ventures in the state.
