CM Vijay finally explains why he keeps wearing black-and-white suits | Tamil News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readNew DelhiJun 1, 2026 08:03 PM IST When actor-turned-politician Vijay took oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, one detail caught the attention of many observers—his choice of attire. Instead of the traditional white shirt and veshti often associated with Tamil Nadu politics, Vijay appeared in a black-and-white suit. In the weeks that followed, he continued wearing similar suits during official meetings, public appearances, and government events, turning the black-and-white ensemble into something of a signature look. The choice sparked discussions online and even made headlines. Now, Vijay has finally responded to the chatter. ‘Are we not allowed to wear coat?’ On Monday, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief addressed the topic during his first mega public thanksgiving rally in Tiruchirappalli. After thanking supporters and taking aim at political rivals, Vijay also spoke about the attention his attire has received. #WATCH | “ஏன் நம்ம கோட் சூட் எல்லாம் போடக் கூடாதா?” திருச்சியில் முதலமைச்சர் விஜய் பேச்சு#SunNews | #TVKVijay | #Trichy pic.twitter.com/27QCiWxJx9 — Sun News (@sunnewstamil) June 1, 2026 Addressing the crowd, he said, “Are we …

APJ Abdul Kalam’s impossible challenge made Vivek plant 33 lakh trees; his target was 1 cr | Tamil News

We all remember actor Vivek from films like Sivaji and Bigil. With his impeccable comic timing, expressive performances, and socially conscious humour, he made millions laugh. But beyond cinema, Vivek dedicated a significant part of his life to a cause that would outlive him—planting trees. The journey began in 2010 when former President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam, threw him a challenge. Impressed by Vivek’s socially relevant comedy, Kalam urged the actor to use his popularity for a larger purpose: plant 1 crore trees. What seemed like an impossible task to many became a personal mission for Vivek. When Vivek passed away in 2021 following a massive cardiac arrest, his close friend K Abdul Ghani recalled the conversation that changed the actor’s life forever. Speaking to The Times of India, Ghani said, “I remember the meeting with Dr Kalam. He told actor Vivek about watching his comedies, which were socially relevant. He then asked the latter why he didn’t consider taking up a social initiative like planting trees. And that inspired Vivek to start the …

2 min readNew DelhiMay 2, 2026 09:46 AM IST Kara box office collection day 2: Dhanush’s first release of the year, Kara, has now been in the theatres for two days but it appears to be falling short of expectations. The Tamil heist-action thriller opened at Rs 6.20 crore on Thursday, April 30 and witnessed a slight jump on day two. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned approximately Rs 6.95 crore on its second day, taking its two-day total to Rs 13.15 crore. The film recorded an occupancy of around 29.7% across 4,181 shows on day two, a marginal improvement from its opening day performance across 4,172 shows. While the growth is a positive sign, the overall numbers remain underwhelming, especially when compared to Dhanush’s recent releases. Kara’s opening is significantly lower than his previous film Kuberaa, which had a strong start with over Rs 14 crore net in India and a gross of Rs 17.06 crore on day one. However, despite its solid opening, Kuberaa managed a lifetime worldwide collection of only …
