Vijayakanth, the chairman and general secretary of the DMDK party, first fell ill during the 2014 parliamentary general elections and then went to singapore for health treatment, and later he took part in electioneering works after taking temporary medicines. However, after the election, his condition worsened and he was treated in singapore at the queen Elizabeth Hospital for a complete overhaul.
His voice was affected after this treatment and slowly his condition worsened due to thyroid problems, throat infections, and kidney problems. From 2017 to 2018, he spent 10 days in chennai, then went to singapore and the united states for further medical care, but nothing improved. Vijayakanth later came to chennai and he was being monitored by a special medical team, but his condition stayed as it was earlier.

His photo from airport in chennai shocked everyone as we saw him in a Wheel Chair aided by his assistant Kumar and son Shanmuga Pandian.
