Chennai: “I don’t play a Chief Minister in Sarkar. But in real life, if I become the Chief Minister, I won’t be acting. I will perform the role with honesty,” said actor Vijay.
Speaking at a function here on Tuesday, he said, “Hypothetically speaking, if I became a Chief Minister, I want to eradicate corruption.”
He said in a lighter vein, “Usually they form a party, contest elections and form government (Sarkar). But we have made Sarkar and will be contesting elections.”
“When I meet you fans at such events, I feel overjoyed. Thanks, AR Rahman sir for doing this film. Your association with this film is like Sarkar bagging an Oscar,” Vijay said.
He added, “If the leader is just, the government will flourish. But it just takes time.” At the event, fans cheered Vijay whenever he spoke about contemporary politics and said that there is an urgent need to weed out corruption.
Speaking to News Today, a die-hard fan of the actor, Ramesh said, “We are happy as our Thalapathy has hinted that he would enter politics. It is a joyous occasion.”
He added, “There is a political vacuum in in the State and Vijay will fill it.” Remember Vijay has supported causes such as jallikattu. He even visited the house of medical aspirant Anita, who had killed herself as she could not pass the NEET exam.
Vijay’s father, S A Chandrasekhar, had earlier admitted in an interview that Vijay has plans to enter politics.
