Tamil Nadu Poll Day: Rajinikanth, Vijay Cast Votes as Celebrities Rally
Celebrities from Tamil cinema head to polls on TN's 2026 election day, flashing inked fingers and fueling buzz around Vijay's Jana Nayagan.
It is polling day in Tamil Nadu, and the online chatter is all about film stars voting. The day is loaded with significance for actor Vijay, who is voting for the first time since announcing his political party last year, Jana Nayagan, and for the broader question of whether that campaign can translate into real political momentum.
Rajinikanth, Dhanush, Kamal Haasan, Shruti Haasan and Ajith Kumar were among those spotted at polling booths across the state, with many showing off their inked fingers for cameras. Rajinikanth was seen at Stella Maris School in Chennai after his routine morning walk, greeting fans as he posed with the famous ink-stained finger. Ajith Kumar arrived in Thiruvanmiyur in his signature all-white outfit, also flashing his own ink mark. Dhanush walked in amid tightened security, briefly acknowledging the cameras before heading inside. Kamal Haasan and his daughter Shruti Haasan arrived together, and Atlee and Anirudh Ravichander were seen at another booth, Anirudh in a light yellow shirt and beige trousers.
Vijay's moment at the polls is closely watched because of the ongoing film project Jana Nayagan and the surrounding political chatter. The day also underscores a larger turnout for Tamil Nadu's election, with voters lining up at polling stations as 234 seats go to the polls and security is heightened to manage the crowds.
All eyes, as ever, will be on whether celebrity presence at the booths or endorsements can influence the mood and outcomes, even as ordinary voters participate to decide Tamil Nadu's political future.
