Actor Vijay, who is building a momentum for his political entry besides a huge stardom, is gearing up for a big meeting with the toppers of the board exams in Tamil Nadu. The event, which will be held ahead of the actor's birthday, is already planned and has sparked a sharp speculation about Vijay's political entry. 

The actor has been carrying out score of social outreach events through his outfit, 'Thalapathy Vijay Makkal Iyakkam' (TVMI)- Thalapathy Vijay People's Movement) for the past few years. From fielding the candidates during the state's local body polls to providing food for street dwellers, the outfit's programmes are turning heads and sparking debates that Vijay is getting ready to plunge into active politics. 

Meeting the toppers of the board exams is one of such social outreach events. Though Vijay remains tight-lipped over his political entry, the activities from his outfit have been suggesting that he would enter politics ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly polls. The strong establishment of his outfit at grassroots level gives a good advantage for Vijay to set his political drive. 

TVMI in May announced that Vijay will meet the toppers in the classes 10 and 12 board exams from all the districts ahead of his 49th birthday on June 22. However, the date of the meeting wasn't announced earlier and now, it has become official that Vijay will be meeting the toppers on June 17 at RK Convention Centre in Neelankarai, Chennai. 

He will be meeting the three toppers of 10 and 12 board exams from all the districts and during the rendezvous, Vijay would be awarding prize money to each topper. In a statement released to the media, TVMI's general secretary Bussy Anand made the official announcement about the meeting and said that the toppers would be accompanied by their parents and Vijay will also confer a certificate to the toppers along with the prize money.

It is pertinent to note that earlier on May 28, on the occasion of 'World Hunger Day', Vijay's outfit had distributed free lunch in all constituencies across the state. The outfit has already been providing free food to the street dwellers that includes bread and milk. The sources close to the outfit say that the VMI is advancing its community outreach programmes on the ground across the state and is also furthering its political aspirations by strengthening the booth committees. 

Under the leadership of Bussy Anand and instructions of Vijay, at least 60% of the constituency booth committees with a proper structure have been completed. The members of the outfit also had an experience in the political campaigning during the 2021 local body polls in Tamil Nadu. Vijay has consented the members of VMI to contest in the 2021 local body polls.

They had a big political breakthrough as the members won 115 of the 169 local body seats they contested. The victory has displayed the strong presence of VMI at ground level. Now, as Vijay is working out to expand and enhance his outfit as a political party, the back-to-back welfare events and initiatives from the VMI are bearing fruit for Vijay's massive political entry.
