Chandrasekaran Joseph Vijay (born 22 June 1974) is an Indian politician and former actor who is currently serving as the ninth chief minister of Tamil Nadu since May 2026. He is the founder and president of the political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Prior to entering politics, he was a leading actor in Tamil cinema and among the highest-paid actors in India.
Following a stint as a child actor in the 1980s, Vijay made his debut as a leading man in Naalaiya Theerpu (1992), directed by his father S. A. Chandrasekhar.
Beyond his film career, Vijay cultivated a fan following, which he consolidated into the social welfare organisation Vijay Makkal Iyakkam (VMI) in 2009. Through VMI, he engaged in extensive philanthropic activities across Tamil Nadu.
In February 2024, Vijay announced his retirement from cinema and his formal entry into politics. He launched the TVK, a secular and egalitarian party but an alternative to the established Dravidian parties. In a watershed moment for Tamil Nadu politics, the TVK secured 108 seats in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election, emerging as the single-largest party and breaking the half-century-long bureaucratic duopoly of the DMK and the AIADMK.
