TVK Chief Vijay ditches khakis for a pantsuit

Thalapathy Vijay made a splash with his political debut in the Tamil Nadu state assembly elections. The actor-turned-politician was made CM after launching his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), and contesting the election for the first time. His swearing-in ceremony was met with fervour and enthusiasm from fans who gathered in large numbers to show their support for the actor.

However, what caught the attention of social media users was the actor's look. Instead of the traditional white shirt-and-veshti combination usually associated with Tamil Nadu politicians. For the ceremony, the TVK chief opted for a well-tailored black and white pantsuit. He also styled his hair in a nice salt-and-pepper look.
