Actor Suriya has added his warm voice to the chorus of congratulations pouring in for actor-politician Vijay following TVK's victory in the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections.
Taking to X, Suriya wrote, "Receiving the love and support of the people is a blessing. Tamil Nadu has great faith in my friend Vijay. My heartfelt congratulations to him as he is about to begin a new chapter in Tamil Nadu politics."
மக்களின் அன்பும் ஆதரவும் கிடைப்பது வரம். நண்பர் விஜய் மீது தமிழ்நாடு பெரிய நம்பிக்கை வைத்திருக்கிறது. தமிழக அரசியலில் புதிய அத்தியாயத்தை தொடங்கவிருக்கும் அவருக்கு என் மனப்பூர்வமான வாழ்த்துகள்.

The two share a long personal and professional bond — having starred together in Suriya's debut film Nerukku Ner (1997) and Friends (2001). Vijay also featured in Herova? Zerova? (2007), a docudrama produced by Suriya.
Vijay contested from Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East under his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam banner — a party he announced alongside his political entry in 2023.
