In a resurfaced video, actor Arvind Swamy made skeptical comments about celebrities joining politics and mentioned Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Vijay. Viral on social media as various political events unfold in Tamil Nadu, a video of his speech that took place at a college event.

While Rajinikanth, who made the initial announcement to enter politics, later withdrew on account of health reasons, Kamal Haasan also made a political beginning by aligning with Dravidian parties. With actor Vijay entering the political fray, a pertinent question arises about the potential of his political journey.

In the old clip, Arvind Swamy wonders if actors are capable of changing society with their political power. On the one hand, he admitted that actors have good intentions, but doubt remains whether they are capable of ruling countries and realizing enormous projects or not.

The actor points out the requirement of a clear explanation from celebrities on their abilities in governance. Netizens resonate with Arvind Swamy's comments, finding them relevant even to the current political landscape. The resurfaced video thus provokes discussions into both the potential role of actors once they delve into politics and whether or not they can be able to lead a state effectively.
