Kamal Haasan, who is also a Rajya Sabha MP, film producer and chief of Makkal Needhi Maiam, submitted a detailed memorandum to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay on Saturday

Vijay's decision to personally oversee these departments indicates his intention to maintain direct political ownership over welfare delivery and urban governance

"Any correction in cinema economics must never come at the cost of workers' wages, safety, dignity, food, transport, accommodation, or humane working conditions," Kamal Haasan said

The accused, who has been identified as Ayyappan, is an engineering graduate and had been struggling to get a job for several years.

Vijay took on the oil companies, underscoring that they do not reduce fuel prices when crude oil prices fall in the international market but continue to make huge profits.

Investigators are also probing whether nationals from countries other than Sri Lanka may have been involved.

The official CMO-Tamil Nadu page on X, which had 4 lakh followers earlier, has now crossed over 2 million.

MK Stalin promised the workers to bring key changes after understanding what the people want and insisted on tweaking the party's campaign strategy by focusing more on social media platforms.

Vijay's transformation into Chief Minister has also marked a visual shift in Tamil Nadu politics.

In most cases, in case of a difference of opinion within the party, a whip is issued that would compel the rebels to toe the party line. Else, their only option is abstention or resignation, often both.

In his statement posted on social media platform X today, Vijay pointed out that this was not the first time NEET has been compromised.

Vijay Meets Ex Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, Days After Big Election Win

The coming days are now expected to be crucial for the AIADMK, as the party prepares to elect its Legislature Party leader amid growing uncertainty over whether EPS still commands the confidence and backing of a majority of his MLAs.

For many, it was not merely a swearing-in ceremony but the arrival of a completely different political culture in Tamil Nadu.

The first breakthrough came from the Congress, a long-time DMK ally that had earlier held informal discussions with TVK ahead of the elections but ultimately chose not to join the alliance

New Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay would have an initial team of 10 ministers in the new state cabinet

Superstar actor Vijay is set to become the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, becoming another to complete the famed cinema-to-politics arc in the southern state.

The rise of Vijay and his TVK may spark what has been considered impossible over the last 50 years - an alliance between Dravida arch-rivals DMK and AIADMK - all to keep the actor-politician out of power.

The TVK, which won 108 seats -- two of them won by Vijay -- has 107 MLAs and argues that as the single-largest party, it should be invited by the Governor to form government.

Leading the charge in Vijay's favour was his fellow actor-politician, Kamal Haasan. He said that by not inviting Vijay to form the government, the Governor was "disrespecting the mandate".

Police sources told NDTV that the decision to withdraw the full protocol convoy was made at Vijay's own request.
