Thalapathy Vijay’s political debut
For those who don’t know, the Kollywood star announced the name of his political party on Friday. His political party is called Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, and he has even stated that in order to devote himself entirely to politics, he will stop acting in movies, as his party’s focus is on assembly elections in 2026. He plans to finish projects that have already been committed to before the election.
Vijay will focus on politics after his 69th film.
Thalapathy Vijay’s 69th film will be produced by D. V. V. Danayya of RRR, following Venkat Prabhu’s The Greatest Of All Time. This was heartbreaking for all Vijay fans, and exhibitors are concerned about the future of the business, as Vijay is arguably the biggest crowd-puller in Kollywood right now.
Vijay-Shah Rukh Khan’s dream collaboration jeopardized?
Amid Thalapathy Vijay’s political decision, there are rumors that his highly anticipated collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan has been canceled. For those who are unaware, director Atlee has confirmed that, following the huge success of Jawan, he will bring Shah Rukh and Vijay together in a film and has already begun work on the script.
With the director’s confirmation, moviegoers were ecstatic. However, given Thalapathy Vijay’s political career, this dream collaboration appeared to be a pipe dream. But what if we said the mega collaboration is still in the works? Yes, you read that correctly.
Hopes are still alive!
After Vijay discussed entering full-fledged politics after completing his previously committed projects, word of his departure from the film industry spread quickly. However, according to recent reports, the news is not entirely true, as the superstar will take a break from movies before returning to the big screen after the 2026 assembly elections. So it’s more of a hiatus than a departure.
According to reports, Vijay is expected to return in 2027 after taking a break. So, it’s safe to assume that his film with Shah Rukh Khan is still in the works, but we’ll have to wait a bit longer.
