You have seen many instances where we mentioned about the nexus between the film industry and politics. Incidentally, politics has become the alternative career option for many film personalities and they are prospering in a big way. On the other hand, some proved themselves as real leaders.
For some reason, this nexus is much stronger in the south cine circuit and many attribute it to the star worship culture here. Given that, three states have come under film star parties and they are Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The upcoming election is going to see an interesting duel.
In Andhra Pradesh it is Pawan Kalyan with Jana Sena, in Karnataka real star Upendra started his own party named Karnataka Pragnyavanth Janata Paksha, in Tamil Nadu both Style Samrat Rajnikanth and Universal Star Kamal Haasan are preparing to arrive with their own parties. All in all, the cine glamour is engulfing the political circuit in a big way in south.
