Vijayakanth has plunged into politics
with the launch of his political party.
Although he does not lay claim to any
office, many cannot miss the unmistakable
intention. He has always shown his characters
to be do gooders without any greed for
political power. This is a subtle ploy
to gauge the public mood. Continuing his
message oriented movies, his home production
Sudesi shows him as a social worker who
also raises his voice against injustice.
Heroine Ashima pines for him but he rejects
her in his course of public duty.
He
records the misdeeds of the Chief Minister
and extracts repentance with the help
of the video footage. In the climax, he
becomes the CM himself because he is forced
by circumstances. This does remind one
of old MGR movies. While MGR did not overtly
state his ambitions, Vijayakanth who claims
to be a real follower of MGR, does not
hide them.
