Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief and actor Vijay has made history by taking the lead over the ruling party Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and strong contender All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) in Tamil Nadu.
Even as his debut into politics, personal life, and film career have been up for debate since he announced his entry in 2024, his friend, actor Sriman, remained one of his staunch supporters.
On election results day, Sriman slammed those who criticised Vijay in the past, posting an old clip of him dancing with Vijay looking on from one of the many films they acted in together.
He wrote, 'I got the opportunity to tell my nanban chief minister in 1998. thank you makkalay, makkal theerpay maheysan theerpu (The voice of the people is the voice of God). Our CM will work for you, He is genuine at heart, Once he promises he tries his best to honour his word, he will work sincerely to fulfill all promises.'
Later in the day, he also slammed everybody who spoke negatively about Vijay, writing, 'I will not ask questions to who all spoke negative, who all posted filthy words in social media , it’s ok brothers, you did what you have to do, no worries, I will only request all of you now to to join together for the betterment of our state, please brothers.'
