## Devotion and stardom collide at the Kollur temple
Tamil cinema superstar and Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay — known affectionately to his fans as Thalapathy Vijay — arrived at the famous Sri Mookambika Devi Temple in Kollur, Karnataka, on Friday. Dressed in a fully traditional style, with a red shawl draped over his shoulders, he came to offer prayers. Pictures and clips from his visit spread rapidly across social media soon after.

Reports say that during the visit Vijay also placed a silver sword at the feet of the goddess. Alongside this quiet moment of devotion, the sheer pull of his stardom was on full display across the temple premises.

## Police struggle to manage the swelling crowd
A massive sea of fans gathered outside the temple, each hoping for a single glimpse of their favourite star. Keeping such a large crowd under control turned into a real test for the police, who had to work hard to manage the situation. The moment Vijay stepped out with his team, the excitement among his admirers hit a peak. In one viral video, he is seen smiling and folding his hands to thank his fans. What made it all the more striking was that heavy rain was pouring down at the time — yet the bad weather did nothing to dampen the fans' enthusiasm.

## An emotional fan runs barefoot behind the car
The frenzy was not limited to the temple grounds. Long lines of fans stood along both sides of the road too, waiting for a passing look at the star. Setting aside the usual security protocol, the superstar was driving his own vehicle, and the crowds on the street welcomed him with full force. A video from this stretch shows a young woman fan in tears. She breaks through the security cordon in an attempt to get close to the car, repeatedly saying ‘please’ as she cries. Despite the security personnel trying to stop her, she kept running barefoot behind the car without any fear. When Vijay noticed his fans lined up by the roadside, he rolled down the window himself while still at the wheel and waved to acknowledge the crowd.

## The 2024 leap into politics
Interestingly, back in 2024, when Vijay was right at the peak of his film career, he announced his entry into politics by forming a party called Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. The decision came as a major shock to fans who had hoped to see him in many more films in the years ahead. Although the actor-turned-politician went on to win an election within just two years of launching the party, his groundwork for a political career had in fact been under way for several years.

## His final film 'Jana Nayagan' still stuck in limbo
After declaring his political move, Vijay completed shooting his last film, 'Jana Nayagan', with director H. Vinod. It was expected to hit theatres this January, but the censor board put its certification on hold. Even after a delay of around 6 months, the film has yet to be cleared. In the meantime, an HD print of the film leaked online in April, prompting the police to take action and arrest several people.
