Vijay, the actor-turned-politician and chief of Tamil Nadu's TVK party, is gearing up to submit his nomination for the Tiruchirappalli (East) assembly constituency on April 2. As he enters a high-profile electoral contest, Vijay is also competing for the Perambur seat in Chennai.

Despite facing police restrictions on his campaign route, TVK officials express concerns over potential overcrowding, suspecting deliberate administrative hurdles by the ruling DMK. Supporters are eager to catch a glimpse of him along the seven-kilometer stretch from the Trichy airport to the nomination venue.

The political landscape is charged as Vijay challenges the incumbent MLA from DMK, Inigo Iruthayaraj, and AIADMK's G Rajasekaran for the April 23 elections. With results out on May 4, anticipation builds in Tamil Nadu for this fiercely contested assembly battle.
