A light-hearted throwback video featuring Thalapathy Vijay and Pooja Hegde is taking over social media, just as the actor-turned-politician celebrates a landmark victory in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections 2026.
Vijay, founder of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has emerged as a dominant political force, winning from key constituencies and positioning himself to take charge as the next Chief Minister. As celebrations continue across the state, an old clip from the sets of Jana Nayagan has resurfaced—capturing a moment that fans now see as unexpectedly prophetic.
In the viral video, Pooja Hegde is seen pointing to a board posing the question, “Who wins the elections?” She then playfully gestures toward Vijay. The actor responds with visible embarrassment, smiling and walking away while covering his face, as the crew bursts into laughter.
Sharing the clip, Hegde hinted at the coincidence, suggesting she may have “called it” long before the results were announced. The moment has since struck a chord online, with fans celebrating both the prediction and Vijay’s candid reaction.
Social media platforms have been flooded with comments praising the actor’s humility and charm. Many users affectionately referred to him as “Pookie CM,” while others described the clip as one of the most endearing viral moments tied to the election outcome.
The video’s popularity adds a softer, more personal dimension to what has otherwise been a high-stakes political development. Vijay’s electoral success marks a significant shift in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape, with TVK emerging as a major challenger to established parties.
Meanwhile, congratulatory messages continue to pour in from across the film industry. Prominent actors and filmmakers have acknowledged Vijay’s transition from cinema to politics, calling it a defining moment in his career.
Pooja Hegde had earlier shared her excitement over his victory, celebrating the achievement and expressing confidence in his future as a leader. Several other celebrities also extended their support, highlighting expectations around governance, development and social equity.
As Vijay prepares for his next chapter in public office, the viral video serves as a reminder of his journey—from film sets to political leadership—capturing a rare, unguarded moment that now resonates far beyond entertainment.
