ThePrint's editorial dismisses the idea of actor Vijay becoming prime minister, calling it a far‑cry and noting his apparent lack of direction even as Tamil Nadu chief minister.
ThePrint published a commentary questioning recent speculation that Tamil film star Vijay could become India’s prime minister. The piece described the notion as a "far‑cry" and suggested that there is no substantive basis for such expectations.
In its analysis, the outlet highlighted Vijay's popularity but argued that translating cinematic fame into the highest political office is unrealistic. The article further observed that the actor appears uncertain even while holding the position of chief minister in Tamil Nadu, implying a lack of clear political direction.
The editorial did not cite any official statements from Vijay or political parties, focusing instead on the gap between public hype and practical political realities. It concluded that the "Vijay for PM" narrative remains speculative and ungrounded in current political developments.
