Dhanush to enter politics? Actor's latest video sparks speculation

Dhanush has once again fuelled speculation about a possible political entry after urging his fans to channel their unity into public service. Addressing a gathering at a recent event, the actor encouraged his supporters to go beyond film celebrations and actively engage in welfare activities within their communities.Taking the stage at the event, the actor said, “So many people are gathered in one place. There’s a great power in this kind of unity. We need to give that unity a purpose. Beyond just audio launches and meetups, We need to engage in even more welfare activities. The people in your area, the families living around your home. Do whatever help you can for them. I need to feel even prouder of you. I believe you will do it.”Looks like we can expect Dhanush launching his new party sooner than expected.Vijay had been doing many welfare activities for years through his Vijay Makkal Iyakkam before officially launching TVK in 2024.

One of the X users wrote, “Looks like the queue for politics is getting longer. Everyone seems to think, "If #ThalapathyVijay entered politics, why not me?" Another X user commented, “Welcome to politics, @dhanushkraja. Tamil Nadu needs educated, disciplined and courageous voices not just actors chasing power.” A third user chimed in and wrote, “Looks like we can expect Dhanush launching his new party sooner than expected.”On National Award rowDuring the same event, he even addressed the criticism surrounding his National Film Awards wins, admitting that there were "definitely better" Tamil films than his directorial Raayan in 2024. At the same time, he urged critics and audiences to celebrate the larger achievement of a Tamil actor bringing home two National Awards in the same year. Dhanush received a Special Mention for his performance in Captain Miller, while Raayan won the National Award for Best Tamil Film. While his recognition for Captain Miller sparked debate online, it was Raayan's win that drew the strongest reactions, with many arguing that other Tamil films were more deserving of the honour.- EndsPublished By: Prachi aryaPublished On: Jul 27, 2026 06:47 IST
