Actor Dhanush has reportedly registered the name of his party with the Election Commission, and the announcement for this is expected to be released soon.
Vijay, the indispensable leading star of Tamil cinema, left his film career and started a party called ‘Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam’ in 2024. Boycotting local body elections, by-elections, and parliamentary elections, TVK entered the 2026 Assembly election directly and won a massive victory in 108 seats. Vijay also earned the distinction of becoming Chief Minister in his very first election.
Vijay’s huge success has started drawing other cinema stars toward politics as well. Among the leading stars, Vijay has stepped away from cinema, while Ajith has stayed away, focusing on car racing.
As a result, with Suriya, Dhanush, Sivakarthikeyan, and Vijay Sethupathi having risen as leading stars, talk occasionally surfaces that they too may enter politics.
In particular, all eyes have been on Dhanush. The reason is that, while he is moving ahead rapidly in his film career as a leading actor, he is also strengthening his fan welfare association at the same time.
Recently, Dhanush had divided his fan club district-wise and appointed district heads. Membership enrollment for the club was also being carried out intensively on a constituency-wise basis.
In this situation, reports have emerged that actor Dhanush has registered the name of his party with the Election Commission. Accordingly, Dhanush is said to have named his party 'Tamilaga Ezhuchi Kazhagam'.
After the legislative assembly election victory, several film celebrities, including actor and MP Kamal Haasan, Sivakarthikeyan, and Silambarasan, met Chief Minister Vijay and conveyed their congratulations. However, neither Rajinikanth nor Dhanush met Chief Minister Vijay; they also did not offer their congratulations.
At the same time, Chief Minister Vijay’s arrival also caused various setbacks in Dhanush’s film career. During the release of ‘Idli Kadai’, the Karur stampede incident and the uncertainty in the assembly election results greatly affected the box office performance of the film ‘Kara’.
As a result, reports emerged that Dhanush may have positions and a political stance against Chief Minister Vijay. It is also said that Dhanush is soon going to announce his political stance publicly. The party’s flag, policies, and principles are also expected to be announced. Those familiar with the matter say that, with the support of superstar Rajinikanth, who stepped back from politics, Dhanush has decided to contest directly in the 2031 Legislative Assembly election.
It is reported that actor Dhanush has registered his party's name with the Election Commission, and an announcement regarding this is expected soon.
