Celebrity astrologer’s visit to actor-turned-politician Vijay sparks chatter as Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam shows strong early performance.
May 4, 2026: Actor-turned-politician Vijay received a visit from celebrity astrologer Radhan Pandit at his residence on Monday, just as early counting trends in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections showed his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), performing strongly. Visuals of Pandit arriving with a bouquet and ceremonial shawl quickly went viral, drawing attention to the timing of the visit.
The astrologer, who had earlier predicted Vijay’s political rise, has added to the buzz among supporters, many of whom see the visit as symbolic. Meanwhile, early trends suggest TVK is emerging as a serious contender, cutting into the vote share of established parties like the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). Initial figures indicate TVK leading in over 100 seats, pointing to a highly competitive contest.
Social media has been abuzz with reactions, with many recalling Pandit’s earlier predictions and speculating on Vijay’s potential role in the state’s political future. Some believe he could even emerge as Leader of the Opposition if not Chief Minister — a rare achievement for a debutant. As counting continues, the spotlight remains firmly on whether Vijay’s political entry will translate into a major electoral breakthrough.
