Actor-turned-politician Vijay was left stunned during his political campaign in Coimbatore on Saturday when a fan dramatically jumped down from a tree onto his vehicle. Vijay, who was campaigning for his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), was seen interacting with a large crowd when the unexpected incident occurred.
In a video shared by Sun News, Vijay can be seen waving to supporters when a commotion from behind draws his attention. Turning around, he watches in shock as a fan jumps from a tree onto his caravan. After recovering from the surprise, Vijay quickly helps the fan to his feet and even offers him a scarf bearing the party's colors.
Following this, another fan attempts to climb onto the vehicle, prompting Vijay to retreat inside as his security personnel step in to control the situation. The incident highlighted the immense passion of his supporters but also raised concerns about crowd safety at political events.
The video of the fan’s daring move quickly spread across social media platforms, sparking a range of reactions. Some users criticized the behavior, questioning the extreme lengths some fans go to. A comment speculated about the authenticity of the act, saying, "It is planned it seems?"
Vijay's Political Aspirations and Film Career
Vijay, who started his acting career as a child artist in 1984 with Vetri and transitioned to lead roles with Naalaiya Theerpu in 1992, recently appeared in Venkat Prabhu's 2024 film The Greatest of All Time. His upcoming and final acting project will be Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth, featuring a star-studded cast including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and Mamitha Baiju.
Produced by Venkat K Narayanan under KVN Productions, the film is scheduled for a Pongal 2026 release, with Vijay’s shooting portion expected to conclude by the end of April. With plans to contest in the 2026 elections, Vijay is preparing to transition fully into a political career with TVK.
