South Indian cinema has a long tradition of film stars entering the political arena, with legends like MGR, Vijayakanth, T Rajendar, Sarathkumar and Kamal Haasan founding political parties. Earlier this year, Thalapathy Vijay made headlines by announcing his political entry with the formation of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.
Following in his footsteps, several actors have expressed interest in politics, including Puratchi Thalapathy Vishal. The latest name to join the list is Legend Saravanan, the owner of Legend Saravana Stores who debuted as an actor in the 2022 film, ‘The Legend’. Recently, his second film launched with a pooja ceremony. Today, he addressed questions about his political ambitions, sparking widespread attention. The statement has since gone viral.
Saravanan stated, “I have always been deeply committed to public welfare and believe that politics offers a powerful platform to bring about positive change on a larger scale. If the timing and circumstances are right, I would consider entering politics to contribute more effectively to society. I am also open to supporting political parties whose ideologies resonate with my own. My goal is to uplift people’s lives by improving the economy and ensuring their overall happiness and well-being.”
