From Sarkar to becoming the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Vijay’s journey feels straight out of a blockbuster script. And now, his reunion with filmmaker AR Murugadoss has taken fans on a nostalgic trip. For those unversed, the duo has delivered massive hits like Thuppakki, Kaththi and Sarkar, in which Thalapathy portrayed a strong and socially driven character taking on corruption and injustice. The moment Murugadoss shared their latest picture online, fans flooded the comments section, calling it a “real and reel Sarkar” reunion and revisiting memories of their iconic collaboration.
AR Murugadoss Meets Tamil Nadu CM Vijay
The photo showed Vijay smiling for the camera as he posed with Murugadoss. Purportedly, the picture was taken at Vijay’s Chennai mansion, where the filmmaker arrived with a bouquet of fresh flowers for the Tamil Nadu CM.
Sharing the photo online, the director wrote in the caption: “Honoured to meet the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu,
Thiru C Joseph Vijay.”

When Vijay Spoke About Becoming CM During Sarkar
In the 2018 Tamil film Sarkar, Vijay played Sundar Ramasamy, a successful businessman who enters politics after discovering that his vote was fraudulently cast by someone else. His character fights corruption and urges citizens to fight for their rights.
Interestingly, during the promotions of the film, Vijay had opened up about what he would do if he ever became a chief minister in real life.
The actor had said that he would not merely “act” like a CM but would sincerely fulfil his responsibilities. He had shared that eliminating bribery and corruption would be among his top priorities. He had, however, clarified that his remarks were not aimed at any particular state or region. Vijay had further explained that when leaders and senior officials remain honest, the entire system naturally follows the same path. He had also pointed out how even basic services, including birth and death certificates, are often linked to bribery because of unethical leadership. According to him, upright leaders inspire discipline and honesty among their followers. He had concluded by saying that dharma and justice always triumph in the end, even if it takes time.
Last year, rumours were rife that Vijay and filmmaker AR Murugadoss were planning to reunite for their fourth collaboration. However, the project never moved forward. Reports suggested that industry conditions and other production-related challenges played a major role in the shelving of Thalapathy 65.
