Earlier this month, Vijay's dramatic political debut as TVK's chief had created a storm. In what was called a historic moment, Vijay's party TVK brought a political whirlwind in Tamil Nadu.

While Vijay's brilliant political move was hailed by many, a few of his decisions after becoming the Tamil Nadu CM were met with criticism and controversy.

For example, when Vijay appointed his astrologer as Rickey Radhan Pandit Vettrivel as Officer on Special Duty (OSD), his decision was met with public and opposition criticism and scrutiny. Following which, he revoked his decision.

Recently, Mark Antony actor Vishal has also called Vijay's decision of allocating film portfolio to Egmore MLA Rajmohan.

In a post shared on X, Vishal insisted that it would have been better if Vijay himself would have taken care of the film portfolio given his decades long association with the Tamil cinema industry.
