Tamil Nadu: Cinema stars Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Vijay in political crossfire

The political landscape in Tamil Nadu is heating up as film stars take centre stage in public disagreements. Kamal Haasan remarked that crowds do not automatically convert into votes, a comment aimed at TVK chief Vijay. This followed actor Rajinikanth's criticism of Vijay and his separate endorsement of Chief Minister Stalin. The transcript also notes Rajinikanth's support for Stalin. Adding to the conflict, BJP's Tamil Sai Sondararajan accused Kamal Haasan of political posturing without action. One speaker articulated a strong view on such developments, stating that parties formed for "self-motivation, selfish nature... that type of politics should be abolished." These escalating verbal battles and strategic endorsements are paving the way for a significant political showdown in Tamil Nadu.
