Actor R Madhavan has expressed pride over his friend and fellow actor Vijay becoming the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, saying that the political development has shown that change is possible in the state. Madhavan, who was speaking during the promotions of his upcoming film GDN, shared his views on Vijay's political journey and also addressed speculation about whether he too could consider entering politics in the future. Madhavan spoke about Vijay's electoral success during a conversation with filmmaker KS Ravikumar. The discussion covered topics ranging from cinema to the changing political landscape of Tamil Nadu.

When asked about the current political scenario in the state after Vijay’s rise to power, Madhavan said that he believed "a lot of good things are happening" and highlighted the significance of seeing an individual from the film industry move into a major political role. During the interaction, Ravikumar pointed out that it was encouraging to see someone from the entertainment industry reach such an influential position. Agreeing with the observation, Madhavan said Vijay’s journey demonstrated that political change could happen. He added that he personally knew Vijay well and proudly referred to him as his friend who had now become "CM Vijay."

Madhavan's comments reflected his admiration for Vijay's transition from cinema to public service. Vijay, who built a massive fan following through his decades-long career in Tamil cinema, entered politics by launching his own political party and contesting elections. His political rise has attracted significant attention, particularly because he is among the few major film personalities in Tamil Nadu to successfully transition from the entertainment industry into electoral politics. His victory has sparked discussions about the growing influence of celebrities in the state's political landscape.

Madhavan was also asked whether Vijay's political success had influenced his own plans or whether he would consider entering politics in the future. Responding to the question, the actor indicated that he was not looking to follow the same path immediately. While he appreciated the changes taking place in Tamil Nadu politics, Madhavan maintained that his focus remained on his acting career and current professional commitments. The actor's remarks come amid renewed interest in the relationship between cinema and politics in Tamil Nadu, a state that has historically seen several film personalities achieve political prominence.

Leaders such as former chief ministers MG Ramachandran and Jayalalithaa built successful political careers after establishing themselves as popular actors, creating a long-standing connection between the Tamil film industry and public life. Vijay’s entry into politics has once again brought attention to this unique trend, with many observers watching how his administration develops and how his party shapes its political identity. For Madhavan, his friend's achievement represents a significant moment in Tamil Nadu's evolving political landscape. While he praised Vijay's journey and expressed happiness at his success, Madhavan made it clear that his own future remains centred on cinema rather than an immediate move into politics.
