Actor, director, producer S.A. Chandrasekhar (SAC), father of star actor 'Thalapathy' Vijay recently quashed rumours about him joining the BJP. Along with it SAC added that if required, their NGO Vijay Makkal Iyakkam (VMI) will turn into a political party as well. "When people call for it, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam will turn into a super-power", said the veteran Tamil film personality.

While it is not news that actor Vijay's philanthropic and movie depictions have had political under-tones, the statement made from the closet source to the actor when Tamil Nadu is only 6 months (May, 2021) shy from Legislative Assembly elections has turned a lot of heads.
