Thalapathy Vijay Appeals Youth To Avoid 'Temporary Pleasures, Drugs': 'Tamil Nadu's DMK Govt Has Failed Miserably' (VIDEO)

Actor Thalapathy Vijay attended the second annual Education Award Ceremony held by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam in Chennai to felicitate the students in Tamil Nadu who scored outstanding scores in the 10th and 12th competitive exams this year.

During the event, he asked the student to avoid 'temporary pleasures and drugs.' “Those who cannot pass the exam, those who cannot get the expected scores, should understand that success is never ending and failure is never final,” Vijay said.

Vijay added, "Success is never-ending. Failure is never final."

Taking a dig at Tamil Nadu's DMK government, the actor said, "It's the government's duty to protect the youngsters from drugs. The current government has failed miserably."

The actor said that there is a need for good leaders in the state. Vijay's comment came after the current situation, as recently 60 students were found dead in the Hooch tragedy.

Earlier this year, Vijay declared the formation of his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.

In a statement issued by the actor, he said, "We are making an application today to the EC to register our party, ‘Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam’. Our goal is to contest and win the upcoming 2026 assembly elections and bring about the fundamental political change that people want."

"Politics is not just another career for me. It is a sacred people's work. I have been preparing myself for it for a long time. Politics is not a hobby for me. That is my deepest desire. I want to fully involve myself in it," he continued.

On the work front, Thalapathy Vijay will be seen next in The Greatest of All Time (GOAT), which is slated to hit the big screens on September 5, 2024. The film features an ensemble cast of actors like Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Mohan, Jayaram, Sneha, Laila, Ajmal Ameer, and Meenakshi Chaudhary, among others.

The actor also has Thalapathy 69 in the pipeline. The film is said to be a political thriller.
