A 'fun' superstar stuns rivals and reshapes politics in an Indian state

Film star C Joseph Vijay's new political party won 108 of 234 seats in Tamil Nadu's state election Monday, falling short of the 118-seat majority needed to form government. Vijay must now negotiate with smaller parties and independents to reach the threshold. His rise mirrors matinee idol MG Ramachandran's 1977 political breakthrough in the state.
