A Legacy of Cinema and Power
Reflecting on the tradition of cinema stars entering politics in Tamil Nadu, Rathnam noted that it is a moment of immense pride to see Vijay take the helm of the state.

Breaking Party Barriers
The core of Rathnam's praise focused on Vijay's diplomatic approach to governance. He highlighted the Chief Minister's rare talent for collaborating with opposing political ideologies without friction.
"Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has done what no other CM has done. At one time he is with Rahul Gandhi, next moment with Prime Minister, next day with Chandrababu Naidu. This is a big achievement, he has created history," Rathnam stated.

The actor also commended the state government's efficiency in managing recent rainfall. He pointed out that the absence of waterlogging in various areas is a testament to the government's effective handling of the situation.
