Samantha Ruth Prabhu, gearing up for the release of her Telugu film Maa Inti Bangaram, met Tamil Nadu CM Vijay in Chennai. The actor-producer posted a heartfelt note on Instagram, praising Vijay's energy and presence, saying he was 'meant for something bigger.'

Samantha expressed admiration for Vijay's courage in stepping into politics, leaving behind his successful acting career. She predicted that Vijay will continue to surprise people and inspire others to contribute to society.

Vijay's transition to politics has drawn comparisons to iconic actor-turned-leaders like NT Rama Rao, MG Ramachandran, and J Jayalalithaa. His party, TVK, has been actively campaigning for the 2026 elections.

Maa Inti Bangaram, Samantha's first theatrical release after Shaakunthalam and Kushi, is set to hit cinemas on June 19.
