Vijay is known for his shy persona and entering into politics will be a stark departure from his usual personality. However, the actor is extremely popular and hopes to use his popularity for his political advantage not only in Tamil Nadu but also in Karnataka and Kerala.

Welfare Activities

The actor has been engaged in a lot of welfare activities carried on through his fan groups. Last December he was with the flood affected people in Tamil Nadu. Attending a student rally in June, he asked people to refrain from taking cash for votes. He also urged students to read about leaders like Periyar and Ambedkar to form an understanding of the society at large.
