Will another film star be able to sway the election in India’s Tamil Nadu?

C Joseph Vijay, an actor-turned-politician, is a potential disruptor in the three-cornered contest for Tamil Nadu's state chief minister. He leads the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party, which aims to end the decades-old dominance of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. Vijay's entry has turned a traditionally bipolar battle into a triangular contest, with the DMK, AIADMK, and his party vying for power in the state.
