Jagadish Palanisamy’s journey from an ardent Vijay fan to the Private Secretary of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has captured widespread attention. His appointment was made on May 12, 2026, just two days after Vijay assumed office as Chief Minister.
Palanisamy first came into Vijay’s circle as a passionate fan before becoming a close associate, talent manager and film producer. Over the years, he managed Vijay’s professional engagements and co-produced blockbuster films such as Master, building a relationship that extended far beyond cinema.
The appointment became public after Palanisamy shared an emotional birthday message for Vijay, recalling how he once stood in a queue hoping for a photograph and now stands beside him as the Chief Minister’s Private Secretary. His post quickly went viral on social media.
Palanisamy is also the founder of a celebrity management company and has worked in the Tamil film industry for over 15 years. His appointment reflects the trust he has earned through nearly two decades of association with Vijay.
