Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan, who is also the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, congratulated Vijay and the ministers who took oath with him. "I wish the new government would fulfil the aspirations of the people, ensure transparent



and progressive governance, and lead Tamil Nadu towards greater growth and prosperity (sic)," he wrote on X.

Kamal Haasan wrote in Tamil on X to congratulate Vijay after the swearing-in. He said he hoped Tamil Nadu would shine under the leadership of the TVK president and Chief Minister, and reach new heights.

Prakash Raj also congratulated Vijay and wrote, "Wishing you the best to succeed in your new responsibility . May the state thrive in your governance too (sic)."
