All is fair in love and politics. DMK supremo M.Karunanidi has alleged that the ruling party is leaving no stone unturned to get political mileage. Having realized that Vaiko is struggling to garner votes for the party, they are now trying to rope in a popular film personality, to add vigor to their campaigns. It is reported that the ruling party has dangled a bait of Rs.100 crores as kickback. Considering the huge amount on offer, there was heavy speculations yesterday that the big fish could be Rajinikanth. However, in a fresh twist of events, Kamal is reported to be the prime target.

Knowing fully well that Kamal’s magnum opus Marudhanayagam has hit troubled waters, the ruling party has used it to their advantage, and offered to clear all financial problems, so that shooting can be completed. Kamal has categorically stated that he has no intentions to join politics. In spite of his refusal, the party is still turning on the heat. It is reported Kamal has left for America, and plans to return only after the new government is formed. However, Kamal’s personal secretary has announced that nobody from any political party has contacted Kamal, and Kamal has left for the States only for shooting purposes.
