Tamil Nadu CM Vijay has been meeting with key figures from the film industry to extend support and receive demands. Last week, he was appointed as the minister for school education, Tamil development, information and publicity, and more. On May 19, members of the directors' union met the CM to extend their heartfelt wishes.
Among those who met Vijay was The Greatest of All Time maker Venkat Prabhu, who shared a note on his X account, thanking his Directors Union family. Director KS Ravikumar also met Vijay, sharing a special and memorable moment with the CM.
Veteran actor Kamal Haasan had met Vijay on May 16, presenting him a list of 6 demands on the need for support for the Tamil film industry. The requests included the launch of the Tamil Nadu government OTT platform, the abolition of local body entertainment tax, and the formation of a strong anti-piracy team.
Vijay has joined the league of iconic actor-turned-leaders like NT Rama Rao, MG Ramachandran, and J Jayalalithaa, causing a major political earthquake in Tamil Nadu by beating both Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
