Actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is poised to disrupt Tamil Nadu's traditional two-party system, with exit polls projecting it as a significant third force or even a potential majority contender. 

To prevent defections, TVK is instructing winning candidates to report immediately to party headquarters and may relocate MLAs to secure locations. The party’s support is strong among youth, urban voters, and marginalized communities. TVK's strategic moves reflect high-stakes political contestation ahead of government formation.
