Vijayakanth - is another MGR in the making?

Rajini oru mokkai. He dont have any voice. Well those two statements are not made by me. But it is the statement came out of the hard real fact, which the TN people have given him in the recent elections. In a recent turnaround, PMK, has raised issues against Vijayakanth ("Captain").

Is Viji is far superior than Rajini? Is Viji has the votebank & administrative capabilities than other cine actors?

Consider these following facts.

1. Under vijaykanth's leadership only the "The SouthIndian Actors Guild's" loans have been repaid. That too with the hard negotiations with the banks and he has settled loans of roughly 6-7 crores under various heads, by organising star nites, where even Kamal & Rajini participated.

2. He is the main person behind, taking a rally to Neyveli, for Cauvery river, in spite of jiginas done by Rajini & emotional outcry of Bhartiraja against rajini.

3. Unlike Rajini, Vijaykanth has invested money in education, health, kalyana madapam and other areas, where till date we havent' come across big administrative or operational issues.

4. Most importanly, Rajini is pro hindutva & pro BJP. Viji has in no. of interviews said about that being brought up by a congressman family background and even organised a function for Kalanigar against JJ's wish. He is stubborn & at the same time, works with all parties.

5. Gnani has written a deep insightful article on vijayakanth and his political moves...Is viji is another Rajini?

6. When Sivaji Ganesan's funeral was carried, Vijayakanth along with Sarath, Napolean & Vadivelu are the forerunners in organising & managing the entire session, without having a single problem. His leadership capabilities are developed on ground and not on listening to any fancy samiyar's ashram's tape.

7. There is a dialogue in Boyz movie utterd by Senthil " Mattiyanam 1 maikku vijayakanth sir office-la sappadu poduvanga". Unlike, Rajini, viji never practises "joke simplicity" and genuinely does things for the needed.

8. Unlike Rajini, Viji has done a lot of films with lot of newcomers & first time directors & Film Institute students. He like new ideas & having no problem in working with fresh, energetic, new comers. Rajini, on the other hand, will call or talk to someone if they have given 2-3 hit films. The penchant for risk taking in Rajini is nil.

9. In the last counsellor elections, somewhere about 30-60 rasikar mandra heads have contested & won in and around madurai for Viji. With them, Viji get to know about the issues being faced at a municipality level.

Last but not the least, unlike Rajini, vijayakanth never has a season ticket for himalayas or any ashrams when there are issues to be sorted out.

Personally, we need an alternative from DMK, ADMK, Congress, BJP and others atleast in TN.
