Sundar C’s political debut with Pudiya Neethi Katchi is generating buzz. While entering the Tamil Nadu elections, he’s notably refrained from criticizing actor Vijay’s party, citing close family ties and mutual respect.
Sundar C Enters Politics with PNK
Sundar C recently announced his entry into politics with Pudiya Neethi Katchi. When asked about Vijay, here’s how he responded.
Filmmaker and actor Sundar C recently announced that he will contest the upcoming Tamil Nadu elections as a candidate for the Pudiya Neethi Katchi (PNK), which is part of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led (AIADMK) National Democratic Alliance (NDA) alliance. He will be contesting from the Madurai Central constituency. When asked about Vijay and his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), the filmmaker-actor refused to criticise them.
Respect for Vijay and TVK
When asked about Vijay and his candidates, he refused to criticise them, saying, “Vijay sir has a lot of love and respect for me, and so do I for him. My wife ( Khushbu ) considers him her thambi (younger brother), and he calls her his akka (elder sister). So, I am not ready to criticise Vijay, his party or his candidate.” However, he mentioned that he thinks the competition in the Madurai Central constituency will be between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the AIADMK.
For the unversed, Sundar was announced as the candidate for Madurai for the PNK-NDA coalition. Khushbu is the vice-president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Tamil Nadu wing. She was previously aligned with Congress and the DMK. The filmmaker-actor was recently replaced by Cibi Chakaravarthi for a film starring Rajinikanth and produced by Kamal Haasan. But he has One 2 One lined up as an actor and Mookuthi Amman 2 and Purushan as a director.
Focus on Madurai Central Election
Vijay’s final film, Jana Nayagan, directed by H Vinoth, was supposed to hit screens in January but was postponed indefinitely due to a delay in CBFC certification. The actor has also been in the news for his alleged relationship with Trisha Krishnan amid news that his wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, filed for divorce.
Sundar C’s entry into politics adds intrigue to the Tamil Nadu elections. His stance on Vijay and TVK, rooted in personal respect, highlights the complex dynamics within the political landscape.
