Chennai: The results of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections are set to be declared on May 4. Meanwhile, the exit poll results have already been released. Most exit polls indicate a return to power for the DMK alliance. However, the Axis My India exit poll suggests that actor Vijay's party, TVK, is poised to make a massive impact. If the final results mirror these projections, the TVK will emerge as either the "King" or the "Kingmaker" in Tamil Nadu.

However, according to the Axis My India exit poll, actor Vijay's party—the TVK—appears to be performing remarkably well. The TVK is projected to win between 98 and 120 seats. If these projections translate into the final results, actor Vijay could potentially form the government in Tamil Nadu.
