Media pundits have begun speculating on the ideological direction that the party might take based on the tall cutouts of BR Ambedkar, 'Periyar' EV Ramasamy, K Kamaraj, Velu Nachiyar, Anjalai Ammal and Chera, Chozha and Pandiya kings, among others, installed at the venue.

Fans of Vijay and party cadres have started arriving at the venue on Saturday itself. However, no one, including media personnel, was allowed to enter the venue. A few caravans were parked near the venue, which has led to speculations that some film celebrities may attend the conference.
