Film stars like rajini kamal should be forced out of politics.
This is a democratic country and anyone can form a party and contest in elections and it is for the general public to support them considering the merits and demerits.
And what is wrong in their launching their new political Parties..??
Let them try their luck
By the way while Hamamalini, Raj Babbar, Shabana Azmi, Mithun Chakarbathy are serving the public by joining politics, why NOT Actors like NTR, MGR, Jayalalitha, etc.??
What is wrong to maintain our democracy with film star participation..??
Many Indian film actors have made the leap or rather transited easily from cinema to politics and Tamil Nadu is no stranger to onscreen heroes transforming into successful politicians.
Big names include M K Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa, who have shaped the state's politics over the past three decades.
This is something ingrained in the Tamil Nadu psyche which is quite unique," noted film critic Shubra Gupta told DW.
"These cult figures with super star status have played mythical roles and that has conformed to a culture."
A cult-like status
This phenomenon of actors entering politics is also true in other southern Indian states like Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, which have seen a similar trend although it is not as pronounced as in Tamil Nadu.
A good example in Andhra Pradesh is the actor Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao - or NTR as he was popularly known. He migrated from the theater to the big screen and played the roles of Hindu gods in the mythological era of Telugu cinema.
Wishing all the best to Kamal and Rajini Kanth in their testing the political water.
