Spotlight

Actor-turned-politician, Vijaykanth is no stranger to drastic ups and downs in his career. His 65th birthday, yesterday, marked a year of downs, unfortunately: from a crushing defeat in the recent elections to the failure of his son’s debut film, Sagaptham.

A look back at his career shows an unlikely beginning, steady success, followed by a plunging graph.

At a recent event, Director Cheran said that he regrets supporting Sri Lankan Tamils. “I came to know that it was Sri Lankan Tamils who indulge in online leaks by releasing new films in an illegal manner. The film fraternity as such has raised its voice in favour of Sri Lankan Tamils on several occasions. Coming to think of it, I feel ashamed to have supported those who eat away our money and push us to penury,” he said.

Let them eat cake!
