While the meeting was officially termed a "courtesy call", the optics of established national party representatives engaging with the fledgling party’s top brass suggest a strategic warming of ties.

The visuals go viral, even as TVK followers are getting ready for the swearing-in of their 'Thalapathy' on May 7.
