Interview with Sathyaraj:

Behindwoods Tuesday, January 11th, 2005 An Exclusive Interview with “Maganadigan” Sathyaraj, in which the reasons behind the contradictions caused by the film in Politics and Kollywood are analyzed. Question : The film “Maganadigan”, has created lot of contradictions in Politics and Kollywood, Do you feel that you have made a mistake? Sathyaraj : Why should I feel? Actually, I feel proud in acting in this film. Question : Being in the Tamil cine field, you have teased your colleagues… Sathyaraj : That is not wrong. Because, there are films like “Server Sundaram”, “Sumathi En Sundari”, “Iruvar”, in Kollywood which resembles “Maganadigan”.
Question : In the films that you have mentioned, the actors were not directly teased… Sathyaraj : In “Server Sundaram”, Manorama imitates a famous actress then. Question : But opposition has raised against you… Sathyaraj : No, In fact famous directors, producers, actors, actresses have called me over the phone and have appreciated me for my performance in “Maganadigan”. It means that they liked the film. Question : In “Maganadigan” you have imitated Vijayakanth. Is it right to do so? Sathyaraj : Mimicry is an art. In “Amaidhi Padai”, I have imitated M.G.R., Anna, Karunanadhi and Shivaji. Vijayakanth himself has imitated M.G.R in the film “Uzhavan Magan”. Now if I imitate him, he is saying that it is wrong…
	Question : Many actors say that they are going to enter into Politics. How about you? Sathyaraj : I am not interested in Politics. I will never enter into Politics. Question : Rajinikanth and Vijayakanth are saying that they are going to enter into Politics… Sathyaraj : Who am I to comment on this? It is their wish. I read in a magazine that Rajini is not going to enter into Politics. According to me, that is a good decision taken by him. Vijayakanth is in a dilemma whether to enter into Politics or not. But one thing is for sure, no actor can become a Politician by starting a party in the future. They can only become a M.L.A or a M.P.
