Director Venkat Prabhu called on Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister and his former collaborator, C Joseph Vijay, after the latter's victory at the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections. The director also shared an opportune gift which is a reference to their 2024 spy thriller, GOAT.
In a particular scene, Vijay is shown to be driving away in a car, whose number plate reads 'TN-07-CM-2026', a reference to Vijay's political aspirations at that time. The director took to social media and shared some photos of the occasion, calling it the 'first manifestation'.
The director wrote, "A history is made. From a thought, to a vision, to this moment. Happy to have met our honourable CM C Joseph Vijay na today and present the very first manifestation of GOAT. This is only the beginning."
GOAT features Vijay in a dual role as a spy, Gandhi, an anti-terrorism operative, and Jeevan, Gandhi's son. Jeevan, is brainwashed into going against his father, after being brainwashed into believing that Gandhi wants to kill him. The cast of GOAT also features Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Sneha, Ajmal, Premgi, Laila, and Jayaram, among others.
