演員 Vijay 準備在泰米爾納德邦展開政治生涯
Actor Vijay prepares for political debut in Tamil Nadu
印度影壇迎來重大轉變，被親切地稱為「將軍」(Thalapathy)的巨星約瑟·維傑(Joseph Vijay)，已正式從銀幕轉戰政壇。
In a major shift for Indian cinema, superstar Joseph Vijay, affectionately known as "Thalapathy," has officially transitioned from the silver screen to the political arena.
在憑藉其組織「維傑民眾運動」(Vijay Makkal Iyakkam)投身人道主義工作並取得數十年的賣座成績後，該演員於2024年初創立了自己的政黨——泰米爾納度勝利黨(Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam，簡稱TVK)。
After decades of blockbuster success and humanitarian work through his organization, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam, the actor launched his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), in early 2024.
維傑旨在打擊貪腐並推動社會正義，將其政黨定位為泰米爾納度邦的中左派勢力。
Vijay aims to tackle corruption and promote social justice, positioning his party as a center-left force in Tamil Nadu.
隨著2026年議會選舉臨近，維傑正帶領一場雄心勃勃的競選活動，目標鎖定全部234個選區。
As the 2026 Assembly elections approach, Vijay is leading an ambitious campaign, targeting all 234 constituencies.
他藉由專注於就業、創業及無毒品社會等年輕人關注的議題，希望爭取Z世代選民的支持。
By focusing on youth-centric issues like employment, entrepreneurship, and a drug-free society, he hopes to appeal to Gen Z voters.
此舉延續了泰米爾演員投身政治的悠久傳統，如MGR和賈雅拉莉塔等先驅亦曾走過這條路。
His move follows a long tradition of Tamil actors entering politics, a path previously tread by icons like MGR and Jayalalithaa.
