Samantha Ruth Prabhu says Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay is her “lucky charm,” recalling that she worked with him on multiple successful films. She mentions their collaborations on projects including Kaththi, Theri, and Mersal, and frames his career transition into politics as a decision she admires.

Across the reports, the emphasis varies between focusing on her personal working history with Vijay and highlighting what she presents as his broader political journey. One outlet focuses on her describing him as a hero who left movies at the height of his fame. Another adds more context about his shift to politics and notes his leadership role associated with Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.

Overall, all sources agree on the central point: Samantha’s public praise of Vijay as “lucky charm,” tied to both their past film successes and his move from acting to public life.
