With Assembly elections nearing, the bond between Kollywood and Tamil Nadu politics is getting stronger. Buzz is that a couple of popular faces will get tickets from Vijayakanth’s DMDK to contest the polls.

It is said that actor-producer Arunpandian and producer Michael Rayappan will be fielded by the Captain’s party in the April 13 elections, as both are very close to the DMDK supremo, who himself is a popular actor.

“But Vijayakanth is yet to take a final decision. Everything will be made clear in a day or two when the candidates list is out,” a highly placed source in the DMDK headquarters at Koyambedu tells us.

While Michael Rayappan, the producer of films like ‘Naadodigal’ and ‘Goripalayam’ is an important office-bearer of the DMDK, Arunpandian is a longtime friend and close associate of Vijayakanth.
