Vishal will next be seen in Rathnam.

Recently, during his promotional interview for his upcoming Tamil film Rathnam, Vishal hinted about contesting state elections in 2026.

Actor Vishal on Monday said that he would not join politics if the government responsibly works for society. Recently, during his promotional interview for his upcoming film Rathnam, he hinted about contesting state elections in 2026.

During a media interaction, he abstained from condemning DMK and AIADMK political parties. But at the same time, he highlighted the significance of addressing the basic needs of people, particularly in rural areas where government schemes may not be reaching the needy.

He, however, aims to avoid revealing any potential alliances or the number of seats he intends to contest. The actor mentioned how he is planning to form a party with a mission to serve the public.

Addressing speculations about renaming the Nadigar Sangam after the late actor-turned-politician Vijayakanth, Vishal said that a decision on the renaming would be made during the association’s general body meeting after consulting with senior members.

Actor Vishal made an official statement about foraying into politics in 2026, citing concerns for unhappy people and farmers. Alongside, he also hinted at the release of his upcoming project Rathnam and his directorial debut Thupparivalan 2. A mention of Udayanidhi Stalin’s BJP query was also there.

Vijay, who was shooting his film GOAT in Russia, returned to Chennai to carry out his democratic responsibilities. As the leader of Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam, he is gearing up for his electoral debut in 2026. The movie ‘GOAT’ is scheduled for release on September 5, 2024.

In Alipurduar, the Asur tribe is accepting their ancestral surname, which was earlier linked with demons amidst improved living standards. Nandu Asur, a retired labourer from the Majherdabri tea estate, is observing encouraging developments as his son Bijoy returns, seeking improved opportunities.

The actor has been waiting to join politics for a while. Back in 2017, when his movie Thupparivalaan was released, he attempted to contest in the RK Nagar by-election. However, his nomination was turned down because he didn’t have the necessary 10 supporters. The actor criticised this decision, calling it a “mockery of democracy.” Over time, he has been showing his interest in politics through his speeches.
