Directed by Venkat Prabhu, 'GOAT' is an action-packed drama centred on Gandhi, a renowned Special Anti-Terrorism Squad (SATS) member. He is drawn back into action alongside his former teammates when a past mistake resurfaces, threatening their mission. The film also stars Prashanth, Prabhudheva, Mohan, Ajmal Ameer, Jayaram, Sneha, Laila, Meenakshi Chaudhary, and Premgi Amaren.

Since its beginnings, The Greatest Of All Time has been a popular topic of conversation on social media. GOAT is garnering more interest than any of Vijay's other films because it is one of his final efforts. Vijay stated earlier that he would transition away from movies after beginning his political career. Vijay's political party, Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam, was founded in February, and the actor has stated that he will run in the 2026 State Assembly Elections. His party did not back any political grouping in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, which saw the DMK-led alliance sweep Tamil Nadu.

After forming Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam, Vijay is allegedly preparing for his maiden political gathering. According to The Print, Vijay has directed his party cadre to embrace a Left-of-Center posture, honouring BR Ambedkar, Periyar, and K Kamaraj. K Kamaraj was the previous Chief Minister of Madras State. Vijay reportedly intends to promote these leaders as the party's key sources of ideological inspiration.

According to The Print, Vijay is now reading the book Ambedkar Indrum Endrum (Ambedkar Today and Forever), which is a compendium of Ambedkar's writings. According to the report, Vijay plans to finish the book before attending the press conference.
