Thalapathy Vijay’s political debut has been a "blockbuster," yet the path to the Chief Minister's chair remains blocked by a hung assembly. With 112 seats in hand, Vijay is scrambling to reach the magic number of 118. While the Congress has pledged its 5 MLAs to ensure a "secular" government, Governor Rajendra Arlekar has sought legal counsel before inviting the TVK chief. All eyes are now on the VCK, Left parties, and AMMK to see if they will tilt the scales. Despite the uncertainty, Chennai’s Nehru Indoor Stadium is already being prepped for a historic oath-taking ceremony.
