CM Vijay swaps black blazer for silk veshti-shirt at manager's housewarming

Joseph Vijay, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, was seen wearing a traditional silk veshti-shirt, a departure from his usual black blazer look, at his manager Jagadish Palanisamy's housewarming ceremony in Chennai. Ever since Vijay took oath as the Chief Minister, he has been seen in a black blazer, crisp white shirt and black trousers. Almost a decade ago, Jagadish was Vijay's manager, managing his film assignments and his calendar. The manager accompanied Vijay on his recent Delhi trip where the Chief Minister met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and finance minister Nirmala Sitaraman. It was on May 10 that Vijay was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

Videos of Vijay entering Jagadish's new home are being circulated on the internet. As soon as Vijay stepped into the house, he was met with loud screams and applause. He also received a personal welcome and a hug from a member of Jagadish's family.

Here's the video:

Jagadish's family member can be heard saying, "I am very happy, extremely happy that you came. Please come," before giving him a hug. Actor Kathir, who shares great bond with Jagadish was also seen in the video.

Almost a decade ago, Jagadish was Vijay's manager, managing his film assignments and his calendar. He became a co-producer with Vijay's Master and also worked on Leo, Vijay Sethupathi's Maharaja and Keerthy Suresh's Revolver Rita. He also runs a talent management company named Route.

Jagadish has been Vijay's trusted aide for over a decade and still continues to do so. The manager accompanied Vijay on his recent Delhi trip where the Chief Minister met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and finance minister Nirmala Sitaraman.

Ahead of attending the housewarming ceremony, Vijay was also seen at the Secretariat in traditional veshti and shirt.

It was on May 10 that Vijay was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Two years after announcing his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), Vijay did the unthinkable by emerging as the single-largest party in Tamil Nadu, defeating Dravidian giants, DMK and AIADMK, which have been ruling the state for 60 years.

On the work front, Vijay's final film, Jana Nayagan, which has been stuck in censor limbo, is still awaiting clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification. Latest rumours suggest that the film might target a June 19 release, days ahead of Vijay's birthday. However, an official announcement is still awaited.
