Shah Rukh Khan Congratulates Thalapathy Vijay On Political Entry With TVK

After Rajinikanth, Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly sent his best wishes to Thalapathy Vijay after he officially announced his political entry, last week.

Reports in the Tamil media claim that King Khan had called the Tamil actor and congratulated him on floating a new political party - 'Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam'.

Vijay and Shah Rukh Khan share a good rapport. A few months ago, the Bollywood superstar had said that he "loves" Vijay.

Responding to Vijay's fan club social media post, on 'Jawan' crossing Rs 1000 crore, the actor wrote, "Thank u for your wishes. Looking forward to Thalapathy's next!!! I love Vijay sir!!! (sic)."

Soon, Vijay responded to the message saying: Congratulations on the blockbuster @iamsrk, @Atlee_dirnd the entire #Jawan team.

Last Friday, Vijay announced that his party will not be contesting in the Lok Sabha polls but rather in the next state assembly elections, as decided in the recent party meetings. "I have decided to complete the film I have already committed to, without affecting the party work and completely involve myself in the politics of public service. I consider this as my gratitude towards the people of Tamil Nadu," Vijay stated.

On the other hand, Rajinikanth, who was also keen to enter politics until recently, sent his best wishes to Vijay.

The Tamil superstar was asked about Vijay's political entry by reporters in Andhra where the shooting of his next movie 'Vettaiyan' is underway. The actor welcomed Thalapathy to politics and sent his wishes to him.
