Why Are Big Stars Rushing to Support Vijay’s Unconventional Choice for Cinema Minister?
The Kollywood political wave is growing stronger by the day, and now prominent actors Raghava Lawrence and Sibi Sathyaraj have publicly thrown their weight behind Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay. Following TVK’s historic electoral victory in Tamil Nadu, Vijay made a massive statement by appointing a dedicated leader to oversee Film Technology and the implementation of the Cinematograph Act. Both Lawrence and Sibi were quick to praise the move on social media, calling it a historic and progressive milestone that directly addresses the long-standing technical and structural challenges faced by the local entertainment industry.
For years, the Tamil film industry has desperately sought government action on major bottlenecks like modernizing theater tech, stream-lining shooting permissions, and enforcing stricter anti-piracy laws. By dedicating a specific focus to film technology and the Cinematograph Act right out of the gate, Vijay’s new administration has immediately won the trust of industry professionals who felt ignored by previous governments. This overwhelming support from popular actors proves that Kollywood sees Vijay not just as a former superstar, but as a leader genuinely capable of modernizing the business of cinema.
