“My life belongs to the people With TVK, I fight for justice, freedom, equality, and unity. This is more than politics, it’s a promise. Together, we rise.”

I’m Vijay Thalapathy
born among the people, raised by their love. Acting gave me fame, but it’s the voices of the unheard that gave me purpose. I’ve played many roles on screen, but the role that matters most to me is off-screen standing with those who need justice, dignity, and a future.”
“That’s why I started Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). This isn’t a political career, it’s a people’s movement. I don’t promise miracles. I promise honesty, equality, and fearless service. My life belongs to you. And together, we will build a Tamil Nadu where every voice matters.”
Early Life & Education
“I was born on June 22, 1974, in Chennai, into a humble yet artistic family. My father, S. A. Chandrasekhar, was a filmmaker, and my mother, Shoba Chandrasekhar, a playback singer. From a young age, I was surrounded by cinema, but I was also shaped by silence the sudden loss of my sister when I was just a child changed me forever. It taught me how precious people are.”
“I studied at Balalok Matriculation Higher Secondary School in Virugambakkam, and later pursued Visual Communications at Loyola College, Chennai. But more than books, life taught me empathy. Watching my parents work hard, staying grounded despite the fame those were my real lessons. Acting came naturally, but understanding people, feeling their pain, and standing up for what’s right that came with life.”
Career in Movies
“I didn’t choose cinema it chose me. My journey began as a child artist in my father’s films. But it was Naalaiya Theerpu in 1992 that marked my debut as a hero. The path wasn’t easy. There were hits and flops. But I never gave up because I wasn’t chasing stardom. I was chasing connection.”
“With films like Poove Unakkaga, Ghilli, Thuppakki, Mersal, Master, and Leo, I didn’t just act I lived the roles. I’ve played the lover, the fighter, the teacher, the soldier but at the core of it all, I was always one thing: a reflection of the common man. Cinema gave me more than fame; it gave me the hearts of people and that is the biggest success any actor can dream of
President of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK)
“For over three decades, I’ve lived in the hearts of people as an actor. But behind the screen, I’ve always been one of you. A Tamil, a citizen, a son of this soil. I’ve seen the struggles of ordinary people up close. I’ve felt the pain of injustice, the silence of inequality, and the frustration of broken promises. That’s why I founded Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).”
“TVK is not just a political party, it is a people’s movement. As the President of TVK, my mission is clear: to restore honesty in leadership, dignity in governance, and trust in democracy. We believe in inclusive growth, equal opportunity, quality education, employment for the youth, and a system that works for the people, not against them.”
“I did not enter politics for fame, I already had that. I entered to serve. Because real power is not in the chair, but in the hearts of people. My role as President is not to rule, but to represent. Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam belongs to every farmer, student, worker, woman, and child who dreams of a better tomorrow. This is our time to rise, not as individuals, but as one people with one vision: Victory for Tamil Nadu.”
