The Election Commission (EC) has allotted ‘whistle’ as the symbol for actor-politician Vijay’s TVK and enthusiastic party workers have launched efforts to popularise it across the state, senior leader CTR Nirmal Kumar said on Thursday.

The whistle symbol was the ‘priority’ one as preferred by Vijay from a choice of 10 symbols proposed, Kumar, joint general secretary of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam said. Incidentally, one of actor Vijay’s top hit songs is “whistle podu,” from his 2024 film GOAT, which had some references to his then planned political foray.
