Actor Prakash Raj recently campaigned for CPI (M) candidate N Pandi in Palani ahead of the Tamil Nadu elections. He spoke about the upcoming elections following 'three models', including the 'cinema model', which he criticized.
Prakash Raj questioned the track record of 'big actors' entering politics, making pointed references to TVK and Vijay. He stated that politics isn't friendship, love, or talent, but a responsibility that requires getting on the ground and speaking.
Prakash Raj and Vijay maintain a good professional relationship despite their differing views on politics. They have worked together in several films, including Ghilli, Sivakasi, Villu, Aathi, and Varisu. Prakash has lovingly called Vijay 'chellam' through the years.
