In
Tamil Nadu, politics and pancake seems
to go hand in hand. In fact cinema seems
to be the first step to reach the political
destination for many fledgling politicians.
These days the stars are nurturing their
dreams of governing Tamil Nadu right from
the day of their entry in to the tinsel
world. Though this kind of precedence
is not set in north India, south seems
to be comfortable with it.
Come elections, we would read the
news of stars joining different parties
and some times two to three parties
a day also. Party hopping is an accepted
norm here especially when people have
short memory. Politicians also appear
to understand the clout these people
enjoy and are eager to exploit it
to their benefit. Whether it is a
healthy trend or not, only time would
tell.
We had mentioned some time back that
Action King Arjun was contemplating
joining politics but had not made
up his mind about the party to which
he would owe his allegiance.
The
suspense is over and in all likelihood;
he would be joining hands with captain’s
DMDK soon. The results of the just declared
Madurai by poll and the local body elections
in the state clearly indicate that Captain
has arrived. Cine stars who were being
treated shabbily at the two Dravidian
parties are sure to find solace in captain
now. Print and the visual media are screaming
from their rooftops about the splendid
performance of DMDK. In Kollywood, Arjun’s
joining with DMDK is certain to usher
in a new movement of stars to captain’s
territory.
“If responsible position is bestowed
upon me, I am ready to join DMDK right
away”, Arjun had reportedly told
the media. We only hope that Arjun brings
to life his Mudhalvan escapades in real
life also. Good Luck Arjun.
