Chennai: These days, in the politics of Tamil Nadu, ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay (Vijay Joseph)’s party “Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam” (TVK) is being discussed everywhere. Vijay, who made a splash in films, is now giving tension to big leaders in the political field as well. The proof of this is that big leaders and film stars of other parties are joining Vijay’s party one by one. Now a surprising news has come, in which a famous actor, who has been in BJP for almost 39 years, has left ‘Kamal’ and joined Vijay’s army.
39 years of loyalty not repaid: Big blow to BJP!
Well-known supporting actor of Tamil film industry, Pandi Ravi, leaving BJP and joining TVK, has become a hot topic in Kollywood and political circles. Pandi Ravi is not a common actor, he was active in BJP since 1987 i.e. for the last 39 years. Expressing his pain, he said, “Out of 10 lakh people of Pondicherry, 8 lakh recognize me. But BJP did not use my power properly. Even after working for so many years, I did not get proper recognition.” With this resentment, he said goodbye to the saffron party and joined Vijay’s TVK.
Pandi Ravi also shone in Vijay’s films
Pandi Ravi is also considered close to actor Vijay. He has played the powerful role of a police officer in many films including Vijay’s blockbuster films ‘Ghilli’ and ‘Jilla’. He is very famous not only on the big screen but also on the small screen. He is known in every household from Vijay TV’s famous serial ‘Pandiyan Stores’. Pandi Ravi, who started his career as a cinematographer, is now busy strengthening Thalapathy Vijay in politics.
Veterans are joining by lining up
Not only Pandi Ravi, famous comedian of Tamil cinema D.S.R. Srinivasan has also officially joined TVK at an event held in Panayur. Apart from these, the entry of former MLA Vijaydharani has also made a lot of headlines. Vijaydharani was in Congress for a long time, then joined BJP. But even there she did not feel like it and now she has come to TVK, influenced by Vijay’s principles.
