Tamil Nadu political leaders sparked controversy over remarks about actress Trisha, a close friend of Chief Minister Vijay. AIADMK's RB Udhayakumar mocked the government's alleged favoritism towards Vijay's associates, triggering protests by Trisha's fans and complaints to police. 

In a viral video, AIADMK leader and former minister RB Udhayakumar mocked Vijay and made a reference to Trisha, asking when will the actor be made the state's Deputy Chief Minister. "Tamil Nadu awaits to see when Vijay's Trisha will be appointed as Deputy Chief Minister," he said.
