Media houses in Chennai were gripped with a rumour Thursday evening that actor Vijay would anytime call on former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa.

This resulted in scribes calling their colleagues in cinema and political beats with all anxiousness to know as to when the meeting would take place and whether the actor would enroll himself in the main opposition party of the State.

The actor, who apparently has political ambitions, met Jayalalithaa at a marriage function in Chennai recently and cherished his brief meeting with the former Chief Minister in an interview to a magazine.

Jayalalithaa, while addressing a massive rally at Madurai, said without mentioning the name of Vijay that an actor was facing troubles and hurdles from the ruling party thanks to his political ambitions.
