T.Rajender
now known as Vijayarajender
is a unique phenomenon
in the Tamil industry.
He broke the myth
that only good-looking
men could become successful
in the field. His
career started with
Oru thalai raagam which
was a smash hit. Since
then he has been quite
a popular hero with
several hits under his
belt. He also wears
many hats like writer,
music composer, editor,
cinematographer and
art director. He also
had a brief political
stint. His son, Silambarasan
is also making waves
in the industry. TR,
as he is popularly called,
celebrated his birthday
with his family and
well-wishers yesterday.
His fans organized blood
donation camps. Speaking
on the occasion, he
raised the familiar
bogey of outsiders undermining
Tamil sensibilities.
He quoted the recent
Thankar and Kushboo
controversies. He accused
Vijayakanth of double
standards and said that
Vijayakanth promptly
acted to extract an
apology from Thankar
while he did not even
lodge a token protest
for Kushboo’s
reported comments. Hence,
TR said that Vijayakanth
should resign forthwith
as President of the
Nadigar Sangam. The
issue is surely hotting
up. Watch this space
carefully for more news.
