It has become common for film stars to enter political arena after gaining fame in films, and while several stars like MGR and Jayalalitha have become chief ministers of the state, Kamal Haasan had launched his political party Makkal Needhi Maiam and Rajnikanth is starting his party soon.

Of late, many stars are joining BJP which rules the nation, and some of the most popular Tamil actors who joined the party include Radharavi, who had previously been associated with DMK and was suspended after an insensitive statement on Nayanthara, and actress Namitha also joined BJP.

Speaking in a recent meeting supporting the CAA act passed by BJP, actor Radharavi said that many actors are willing to join BJP adding that he has spoken to actor Karthik, and that he will join the party soon. It must be noted that Karthik himself had founded two political parties namely Agila Indian Nadalum Makkal Katchi and Manitha Urimaigal Kaakum Katchi.
