Big stars, medium stars and small stars, all are there in the campaign field.Earlier too film actor were involved in politics, but then it was for a cause and the actors knew what they were doing and what for they were doing. Stalwarts like MK Thiyagaraja Bhagavathar, Kittappa and KB Sundarambal were pro Congress during the Indian independence struggle.
