Popular Heroine Dares to Contest Against Vijay Thalapathy in Elections

In a surprising move, popular Tamil actress Namitha has announced her intention to contest against actor-turned-politician Thalapathy Vijay in the 2026 Tamil Nadu state assembly elections.

Namitha, who is currently an active member of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) executive committee in Tamil Nadu, has been campaigning for the party in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. She has particularly been focused on supporting L. Murugan, the BJP's candidate for the Nilgiri Lok Sabha constituency.

The prospect of a potential political showdown between Namitha and Vijay has generated significant buzz in the state's political circles. Vijay recently launched his political party, the 'Tamilaga Vetrik Kalagam,' and has already announced that the party will contest the 2026 state assembly elections.

Namitha has stated that she believes she should compete against a "smart opponent" in politics, suggesting that she sees Vijay as a formidable contender. This comment has further fueled the anticipation around a potential clash between the two high-profile personalities.

While some fans have expressed skepticism about Namitha's chances of success against the popular actor-turned-politician, the actress' strong fan following in Tamil Nadu and her active involvement in the current election campaign has also generated significant attention.
