Vijay Oath Ceremony Celebrity Reactions Live Updates: PM Modi congratulates Vijay as he takes oath as Tamil Nadu CM

Vijay Oath Ceremony Celebrity Reactions Live Updates: As Vijay takes oath as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, he also leaves behind a decades-long career as one of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars.

After days of shifting numbers, negotiations and crucial meetings, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) founder and actor Vijay has taken oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Sunday morning.

The swearing-in ceremony is currently underway at Chennai’s Nehru Stadium after Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Saturday invited Vijay to form the government following his formal appointment as Chief Minister. The Governor has also directed Vijay to prove his majority on the Assembly floor by May 13.

TVK secured 108 seats in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, though its effective tally stands at 107 since Vijay emerged victorious from two constituencies. With the backing of Congress’s five MLAs, two legislators each from CPI, CPI(M), VCK and IUML, the TVK-led alliance eventually garnered the support of 120 MLAs-elect, crossing the majority mark of 118 in the 234-member Assembly.

As Vijay takes oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, he also leaves behind a decades-long career as one of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars. Fans are now eagerly awaiting Jana Nayagan, which is widely expected to be his swan song. However, the film is yet to receive a release date as it continues to face delays due to certification issues.

Ahead of the much-anticipated moment when Vijay takes oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, actor-filmmaker Lakshmy Ramakrishnan extended best wishes to the actor-politician. Mentioning that his victory stands as a testament to the power of "courage, conviction, and a genuine intent to serve people," Lakshmy noted on X (formerly Twitter) that such resilience can create history.

She added, "I hope he is supported by experienced, capable minds who can guide and strengthen the governance of the state. At the same time, I also feel it is important to acknowledge that Thiru MK Stalin and his government did a commendable job in several aspects during the last tenure. But ultimately, we accept and respect the people's mandate — that is the true spirit of democracy."

"One encouraging shift already visible is the growing political interest among youngsters and women. Hope this engagement continues and becomes second nature in our society, because democracy becomes stronger when more voices participate consciously," Lakshmy noted.

She concluded her social media post by noting, "Last, but not least, may this also put an end to the dismissive 'koothadi' stereotype and demonstrate how creative individuals can bring adaptability, empathy, communication, and design-thinking skills into governance and public leadership. Wishing Vijay wisdom, balance, and strength for the journey ahead."

Vijay Oath Ceremony Celebrity Reactions Live Updates: Rathna Kumar on 'Thalapathy' becoming Tamil Nadu CM

Director-writer Rathna Kumar's post on X read, "26 um Nammalthu thaan. 29 um Nammalthu thaan. My first film #meyaadhamaan got released alongside #mersal. During that time Vijay sir’s Voter id was circulated by certain party saying Thalapathy Vijay’s full name is C. Joseph Vijay which created a huge Political controversy. In less than a Decade we are seeing the same C. Joseph Vijay in the order copy saying he is the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu. Infact i went to Mersal FDFS skipping Meyaadhamaan. And Thalapathy fans supported my film as well. I am sure they will always back me. And #29thefilm is the first Tamil film getting released under his governance. What more can i ask for. I strongly believe after all these anxious days makkal will start coming to Theaters for Relaxation knowing he is the CM."
