Achieving greatness in any field demands selfless effort, dedication, and hard work. Many stars in the film industry have reached top positions through sheer persistence and talent. Interestingly, several of these stars don’t stop at their cinematic success — they often turn their focus toward politics, carving out impressive careers there as well.
Famous actors who ruled both cinema and politics
Legendary actors like NTR, MGR, and Jayalalithaa earned massive fan followings through their films and later transitioned into politics, becoming beloved chief ministers. Following their footsteps, stars like Kamal Haasan and Vijayakanth also entered politics and continue to serve the public. Although superstar Rajinikanth announced his political ambitions, he has so far stayed away from active politics.
Currently, actor Vijay is preparing for a strong political journey. Along the same path, it seems that actor Dhanush is gearing up to step into politics too, inspired by icons like Rajinikanth and Vijay.
Dhanush’s fan meetings: a sign of political ambitions?
Dhanush is reportedly planning to meet his fans regularly to strengthen his bond with them. A studio in Saligram has been booked exclusively for this purpose — every Sunday for 25 weeks — where he will meet about 500 fans weekly. This plan was supposed to start last week but got postponed due to an injury to Dhanush’s leg.
From July 27 onwards, these fan interactions will begin, sparking discussions in Kollywood circles about whether Dhanush’s fan meetups signal a future political move. It’s worth noting that stars like Rajinikanth, Vijay, and Kamal Haasan first organized fan photo sessions to connect with supporters before stepping into politics. Could Dhanush be following the same playbook? Only time will tell.
