Vijay's Political Remarks at 'Sarkar' Launch Gain New Attention
South Indian actor Vijay stirred significant political discussion with his comments at the 'Sarkar' audio launch event in Chennai. This speech continues to be referenced today as his public profile expands and new challenges emerge.
The Event at Sairam Engineering College
Vijay delivered his address at Sairam Engineering College, blending film promotion with political statements that ignited loud fan reactions. His words sparked broader conversations beyond the entertainment sphere.
What Vijay Actually Said
According to reports, Vijay began by thanking his cast and crew before delving into the political themes of 'Sarkar.' He drew a direct comparison to his earlier hit film 'Mersal.' Vijay stated, "The special aspect of 'Sarkar' is that 'Mersal' contained some political elements, while the politics depicted in 'Sarkar' will be truly amazing."
He then made a declaration that triggered enthusiastic cheers from the audience. "People contest elections to form a government, but we have already established our 'Sarkar,' and now we will contest in the elections," Vijay announced. As fans roared in approval, he quickly clarified his intention, explaining he was referring solely to the film and urging viewers to support it if they enjoyed the content.
When the host inquired about rumors that he was portraying a chief minister on screen, Vijay responded with humor. He added a memorable line, saying, "If I ever become a chief minister in real life, I will not merely act like one but perform my duties with complete honesty."
Vijay concluded his speech with broader observations on governance and justice. He remarked, "We must now pay even for our death certificates. If a leader is just, his government will thrive. Justice always prevails, but it requires time."
Current Legal and Professional Developments
Recent events have brought Vijay's past speech back into focus. The Central Bureau of Investigation questioned him on January 12 regarding the Karur stampede case. This investigation adds a new layer to his public persona.
Simultaneously, his upcoming film 'Jana Nayagan' faces legal obstacles. The producer has approached the Supreme Court in a dispute related to CBFC certification. Reports indicate the film was scheduled for release on January 9, 2026. The Supreme Court is expected to hear the matter on January 21, following a stay order from a Madras High Court division bench.
These developments create a complex backdrop for Vijay's career, intertwining entertainment, politics, and legal scrutiny.
