Former Chief Ministers MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa bounced into politics using cinema as a platform for mass appeal and emotional connection. However, Vijay departs from the historical approach of actor-turned-politicians MGR and Jayalalithaa, who strictly picked bureaucrats and political loyalists only for administrative posts. Beside her, popular playback singer Velmurugan, who rendered song for Vijay's political campaign and his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), was appointed as a member of the HR&CE temple trustee selection panel. Producer of film Jana Nayagan, K. Venkata Narayana, was appointed as Tamil Nadu government's Special Representative in New Delhi. There is buzz that Vijay is also considering giving a government job to his long-time bodyguard Moosa, who has been with him since the beginning of his film career.
