The appointment comes amid earlier discussions and speculation when Palanisamy was seen accompanying Vijay on official engagements, including a recent visit to Delhi where the Chief Minister met the Prime Minister. At that time, Palanisamy did not hold any formal government position, which led to questions from observers and the public.
With this new role, Palanisamy now officially becomes part of the Chief Minister’s administrative setup. The development is being closely watched, as it blends political responsibility with a figure known primarily for his work in cinema and media management.
