Mammootty Avoids Vijay's Political Career Query at Chennai Airport
Mammootty skips Vijay TVK comment pre-TN results.
Veteran Malayalam actor Mammootty has declined to comment on Tamil actor-politician Vijay’s political journey with the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), ahead of the upcoming Tamil Nadu election results. His response comes amid growing public and media curiosity over film personalities transitioning into active politics in the state.
The brief remark was made during an interaction in which Mammootty was asked about Vijay’s entry into politics and the potential impact of TVK in Tamil Nadu’s electoral landscape. However, the actor chose not to elaborate, maintaining a neutral stance on the subject.
His decision follows a similar pattern seen earlier with Tamil actor Kamal Haasan, who has also been cautious in commenting on fellow actors’ political moves. Both figures have previously taken distinct but measured approaches to political engagement, often avoiding commentary on individual political trajectories within the film fraternity.

Vijay’s political entry through TVK has been one of the most closely watched developments in Tamil Nadu politics in recent years, given his massive fan base and influence in the Tamil film industry. The party has been positioning itself as a new alternative in the state’s competitive political space ahead of the election results.
Mammootty’s refusal to comment has drawn attention largely because of the increasing intersection between cinema and politics in southern India, where film stars often command significant electoral influence. However, he has historically maintained a distance from direct political commentary outside his home state’s context.
As Tamil Nadu awaits the election outcome, the spotlight remains on emerging political formations like TVK and their potential impact, while leading film personalities continue to navigate their public roles cautiously amid heightened political sensitivity.
