According to accounts, Vijay fasted for a whole day and conducted Islamic prayers before taking part in the iftar rites and throwing a feast for thousands of people.

His party planned the iftar at the YMCA grounds in Royapettah, Chennai. Imams from 15 local mosques were asked to participate, and plans were made to accommodate over 3,000 people. Vijay is now preparing for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections, and he has allegedly opted to run alone, without allying with the AIADMK.

On the cinema front, Vijay is poised to release his forthcoming feature, Jana Nayagan, which will also be his final film. During his first rally for TVK in October, Vijay stated, "At the absolute height of my career, I am throwing it away, throwing away the salary I was drawing, and I am coming to you as your Vijay. I am placing all my trust in you."

He also mentioned that he was looked down upon when he first started performing, but his fans' devotion propelled him to stardom. Seeking the same enthusiasm for his political career, he said, "They first said my face wasn’t good. Then, they said my personality wasn’t good. Then, they shamed me about my style, my hair, my walk, etc… What really kept me together during those times was your support. It is that love and trust that has brought me to politics today."
