Joining the long list of stars taking a plunge in politics is Silambarasan. He would be campaigning for his father and actor-director Vijaya T Rajendher in Mayiladuthurai Constituency.

Says Simbhu, 'Politics is not new to me I had campaigned for my mother when I was just five years old when she contested in Palani. More over Mayiladuthurai is my native and it is an opportunity to meet my fans'.

It may be recalled that T Rajendhar's Latchiya Dravida Munntera Kazagam is contesting in nine seats in the State and in other places, TR will canvass for the success of DMK and its allies.

Silambarasan has taken a break from his busy shooting for Vallavan.

TR has made some disparaging comments on Vijayakanth and his party in his election campaign so far.
