Actor Trisha Krishnan is reportedly being considered for a political entry through the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), with some party leaders pushing for her candidature from the Tiruchirappalli East Assembly constituency, as reported in Junior Vikatan.
According to the report, certain sections within the TVK leadership have been pressing the party high command to field Trisha from Tiruchirappalli East. Preparations are allegedly already underway, with supporters reportedly undertaking discreet campaign activities in the constituency.
The report also claims that an active campaign in favour of the TVK is taking place across churches in the constituency, ostensibly as part of efforts to build support ahead of a possible electoral contest involving the actor.
However, Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s advisors are said to favour a different political route for Trisha. They have reportedly suggested nominating her to the Rajya Sabha in the 2028 elections, when vacancies are expected to arise, thereby securing her entry into Parliament without contesting an Assembly election.
Meanwhile, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is also reportedly considering actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan as a possible candidate from Tiruchirappalli East.
According to the report, the DMK leadership approached Kamal Haasan to explore the possibility of fielding him in the constituency. However, Haasan, who is currently a Rajya Sabha MP, reportedly declined the proposal, stating that he was not interested in contesting any election. He is said to have offered instead to campaign extensively for the party during the by-election.
Following his reluctance, the DMK leadership is reportedly considering renominating its sitting MLA, Inigo Irudayaraj, as its candidate.
