Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay is set to be sworn in as Tamil Nadu's chief minister this Sunday at Chennai's Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium.
His party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), made a splash by winning 118 seats in its very first election, enough for a clear majority.
It's a huge leap from blockbuster movies to political history.

Vijay's parents are all smiles about the big day, with his father sharing, "I am going to enjoy that my son is going to take the oath now."
