Thalapathy Vijay is already setting new records from the very moment he took charge as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Latest numbers clearly show his massive craze isn’t just limited to the silver screen. It’s making a heavy impact in state politics too. As soon as Vijay sat in the Chief Minister’s chair, followers started flooding the official social media accounts of the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s Office (CMO).
Before he took over, the ‘cmotamilnadu’ Instagram page sat at around 4 lakh followers. Now, that number has shot up to 16 lakh. At the same time, the @CMOTamilNadu account on X (formerly Twitter) went from 4 lakh followers to an impressive 22 lakh. Following the update, officials changed the profile display picture to a photo of Vijay sitting in the CM’s chair. In just 24 hours, that single image pulled in 1.4 million views.
These official pages exist to give people regular updates about the Chief Minister’s daily programs, welfare schemes, meetings with leaders, and government inaugurations. Usually, it’s very rare for government accounts to gain followers this fast or on this massive scale. General users don’t typically show much interest in tracking official state pages on a daily basis. But Vijay’s entry completely changed that math.
Bringing Box Office Energy to Government Pages
Young voters and longtime fans are turning their attention straight to these government pages. They want to track every decision their favorite hero makes in his new role as Chief Minister. Instead of relying on news outlets or fan groups, people are directly following his governance style and official programs through the CMO accounts.
After shaking up the box office for years, Vijay has now put the Tamil Nadu government right at the top of digital trending charts. Looking at the massive public response to his first-day decisions, it’s clear that Thalapathy’s name will keep breaking internet records in the days ahead.
