Is This The Constituency That Thalapathy Vijay Will Contest?

The upcoming assembly election in Tamil Nadu have started to generate a lot of traction already in view of the participation of Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay. Now the discussion is about the constituency that Vijay will be contesting from in the next election.

Actor turned politician Thalapathy Vijay is increasingly being projected as a strong new force in Tamil Nadu politics ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.

According to political circles and media speculation, Vijay is likely to contest from the Velachery Assembly constituency in Chennai, marking his formal electoral entry through his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.

Velachery is considered a strategic choice due to its urban character, large middle class population, young voters and professionals. The constituency is also close to Vijay’s residence, which could help him maintain a strong ground level presence during the campaign.

Political observers believe that starting from a key Chennai seat allows Vijay to establish credibility among urban voters while sending a clear message that his party aims to challenge both the DMK and AIADMK directly.

Since launching TVK, Vijay has intensified his political activities, holding meetings with party cadres, unveiling the party symbol and addressing governance issues such as corruption, unemployment and public accountability. Party leaders have indicated that Vijay himself will announce the final decision on constituencies and candidates at the appropriate time.

While there has been no official confirmation yet, the buzz around Velachery continues to grow as the election season approaches. If confirmed, Vijay’s candidature from Velachery could significantly alter the political dynamics in Chennai and add fresh excitement to the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
