The idea of Chandrasekhar condition of the equilibrium and stability for a star is revisited in the nonextensive kinetic theory based on Tsallis entropy. A new analytical formula generalizing the Chandrasekhar condition is derived by assuming that the stellar matter is kinetically described by the generalized Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution in Tsallis statistics. It is found that the maximum radiation pressure allowed at the center of a star of a given mass is dependent on the nonextensive parameter q. The Chandrasekhar condition in the Maxwellian sense is recovered from the new condition in the case of q=1.
