Trisha voted at St. Francis Xavier Middle School in Alwarpet. Dressed in a green floral kurta, she arrived with her team. In one video, her staff can be seen trying to hold back photographers who followed her closely, almost into the polling booth. After voting, Trisha rolled down her car window to display her inked finger and urged people to participate, saying, “Please vote, just go vote. That’s your right, it’s your duty. Please go vote.”
Ajith Kumar, Dhanush, Rajinikanth among others at polling booths
Many other Kollywood celebrities were also spotted at polling stations across Chennai. Ajith Kumar, who flew in from Belgium to vote, arrived in a white suit. A large crowd gathered around him, making it difficult for police to clear a path as fans blocked his way. At one point, he even took out his phone to record the crowd and covered his ears as fans shouted his name. The crowd of fans look so excited to see Jyothika and Surya as they stepped out to cast their vote.
