Is This The Real Reason Vijay Did A Political Film Like Sarkar?

Vijay is arguably one of the most successful and talented stars in the Tamil film industry today. And, at present, he is in the limelight because of his latest release Sarkar. The political-thriller hit the screens on November 6, 2018, and opened to a thunderous response at the box office. Directed by Murugadoss, the film has several political references that have ruffled a few feathers. In it, 'Thalapathy' plays the role of a businessman who becomes a revolutionary after he fails to cast his vote due to a vote fraud.

During a recent interview with a leading website, Vijay's friends and the noted director Srinath spoke about the Sarkar controversy and explained that the star is doing political films as he feels that it is his duty to raise questions and set an example.

"I think he is doing so because it is in his blood. It won't stop, and who knows, tomorrow his son Sanjay might do something similar. It is a citizen's duty to do this. Everything is to bring a change, and hopefully this 'Oru Viral Puratchi' will be a first step for Vijay's Political career," he added.

Srinath also said that it is not right to target Vijay for doing political films as even the likes of MGR and M Karunanidhi were similar.

"He is doing films with a social responsibility and maturity. He still hasn't started his revolution. I don't understand why so much controversy is created and he is targeted. Such films have been made in the times of MGR and Kalaignar," added Srinath.

This is quite an interesting take on the matter and it might create a buzz amongst Vijay's fans.
