Veteran Malayalam actor Devan is reported to be in talks with Vijay’s TVK party about a possible entry into politics, sources say.
Veteran Malayalam film star Devan, known for his versatile roles in the industry, is reportedly in discussions with Vijay’s newly formed TVK party about a potential political debut. Sources close to the actor say that Devan has been approached by party officials and is evaluating the offer, though no formal decision has been announced.
TVK, led by Vijay, has been actively seeking high‑profile personalities to broaden its appeal ahead of upcoming state elections. The party’s strategy includes courting well‑known cultural figures, and Devan’s entry would mark a significant crossover from cinema to politics in Kerala.
Devan, who has previously kept a low political profile, has not publicly commented on the speculation. Analysts note that his popularity in Kerala could provide TVK with a boost among regional voters, but also caution that the actor’s political stance remains unclear.
If the talks materialise into an official announcement, Devan would join a growing list of film personalities transitioning into electoral politics, a trend that has shaped Kerala’s political landscape in recent years.
