At no other time is the film politics nexus
in Tamilnadu more prominent than during the
run up to elections. Every poll season, throws
up its own band of film celebrities who participate
in the political process either as star campaigners
or contestants. Depending upon the pulling power,
the stars are assigned responsibilities and
political posts.
This time is no different and we have been witness
to the unfolding drama for the past couple of
months. First was the launch of Vijayakanth’s
party and then the plunge by Karthik, Murali
and Senthil. Not to be left behind, the ladies
were led by Kushboo who was widely rumored to
be pitted against Stalin in Thousand lights
constituency withdrew after her infamous comments.

Now
it is the turn of Simran, Vindhya and a couple
of other minor starlets to display their political
leanings. How effective their presence would be
at the poll is still a mystery.
Now comes the news that K. Bhagyaraj has joined
DMK. He met party President, M. Karunanidhi at
Anna Arivalayam today and expressed his solidarity.
It is interesting to note that Bhagyaraj had been
declared the heir apparent in ADMK by none other
than MGR himself. He fell out of favor with JJ
and then floated his own party. Mired in debt
and other problems, he bid goodbye to politics.
Now making a comeback in films, he must have thought
that this was the right time to be seen in the
public eye. It is rumored that he would campaign
against JJ in Andipatti. |
