Vijay Mallya

Priyanka Chopra revealed that working on her debut film Thamizhan with Tamil superstar Vijay at the age of 18 shaped her early understanding of stardom. She recalled witnessing the actor’s massive fan following during the shoot, describing it as a “demigod” level of fame.

Vijay’s Jana Nayagan faces fresh challenges as the film’s OTT partner Prime Video has reportedly cancelled the deal amid the delay.

Actor-politician Vijay has sought a 15-day extension to appear before the CBI for questioning in the Karur stampede case. The deadly 2025 rally incident killed 41 people, and investigators are continuing their probe into possible lapses in crowd management and event planning.

TVK women’s wing leader Ranjana Nachiyar criticised party chief Vijay over his ongoing divorce controversy, saying he should respect his wife before aspiring to become a political leader. Her remarks came after Vijay’s public appearance with Trisha Krishnan while his divorce case with Sangeetha Sornalingam remains pending.

The 51-year-old leader, who enjoys a deeply loyal fan base, chose to speak about the matter after weeks of speculation and discussion across social media and news platforms.

A controversy has erupted in the Tamil film industry after producer and critic G Dhananjheyan criticised actors for allegedly setting a wrong example amid recent buzz surrounding Vijay and actor Trisha Krishnan.

Amid rumours swirling about Tamil superstar Vijay and his personal life after reports of a separation from his wife, a **viral old video and social media posts featuring Trisha Krishnan describing her warm bond with him have sparked renewed backlash online.

The bench had previously granted him another opportunity to clarify his stand. On an earlier date, the judges had said, “You (Mallya) have to come back…if you cannot come back then we cannot hear this plea.”

The apology followed sharp reactions from political leaders across party lines, as well as a strong response from Trisha through her legal counsel.

The case originated from income tax searches conducted at Vijay’s residence in September 2015. Subsequently, an assessment order was passed in December 2017, and penalty proceedings under Section 271AAB(1) were initiated in December 2018.

A viral video from a theatre in Karaikudi shows Ajith Kumar fans attacking a supporter of actor Vijay during the re-release screening of the cult film Mankatha — after he waved a TVK (Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam) flag inside the auditorium. The man was beaten, had his shirt torn, and was forced out of the venue as others cheered. The incident has sparked outrage and raised concerns about fan rivalry at public screenings.

Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan has missed its Republic Day release due to an ongoing CBFC dispute, with makers now targeting an early February theatrical debut, pending a court verdict.

Jana Nayagan, starring Thalapathy Vijay, has run into legal trouble that has stalled its progress, with objections and procedural issues keeping the film in limbo. Here’s a clear breakdown of the case, what’s being contested, and why the project remains stuck despite strong anticipation.

Director Sudha Kongara expressed admiration for Tamil superstar Thalapthy Vijay and called the censor delay faced by his film Jana Nayagan unfortunate, stressing that such situations “should not happen to any film.” She also clarified that there was no rivalry between Parasakthi and Vijay’s movie.

On January 12, Vijay spent close to six hours at the headquarters of the Central Bureau of Investigation in New Delhi.

The CBI has till now questioned several TVK office bearers, driver of Vijay and some police officers in the case.

The planned re-release of Vijay’s blockbuster Theri has been postponed amid ongoing issues with the censor certification of his highly anticipated film Jana Nayagan. Jana Nayagan’s release has been delayed due to disputes over its clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), prompting a hold on Theri’s re-run plans as well.

With Monday’s questioning concluded but not complete, the CBI is expected to summon Vijay again after Pongal.

The declaration has been read both as an assertion of the party’s ambitions and as a message to potential allies, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), amid talk of backchannel discussions.
