The actor said he doesn’t believe the CM won votes based on his stardom and box-office hold alone. Telugu actor Nani is busy promoting his upcoming film The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela. he spoke to the press about Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and Tamil superstar C Joseph Vijay While promoting the film in Chennai.
The film also stars Kayadu Lohar, Mohan Babu and Raghav Juyal in lead roles. Apart from Telugu, the film will be dubbed in other South Indian languages and Hindi. Nani mentioned at the Chennai press meet that he would like to call The Paradise a Telugu film instead of a pan-India film, much like how Jawan or Pathaan are called Hindi films.
The Paradise is Nani’s second film with Srikanth after their 2023 hit Dasara. It will be released in theatres on September 24 after being delayed twice.
Vijay launched the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in 2024, making it the first political party in TN to break away from Dravidian parties. The star was sworn in as the CM on May 10. His final film, Jana Nayagan , was released in July and became the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year, with a worldwide gross of ₹ 324.54 crore.
Because he’s a star who collects the highest at the box office, the kind of trust the Tamil people have shown…it shows that it’s not about success or it’s not about…just. He responded, “It’s amazing. That’s the kind of love we as actors gather. Like Vijay sir being the bigger star here. I don’t think they’d vote for someone. Nani stated that he thinks Vijay is ‘rocking’ so far as the CM, stating, “From whatever I’ve seen online, from the clips in the Assembly and all that, I think he’s rocking the show. The election results were declared in May after voting in April.
Nani was asked how he felt as an actor seeing a star like Vijay become the CM of TN today.
