It has been 38 years since the passing of legendary actor and former Chief Minister MG Ramachandran. A while ago, actor Vishal took to X and shared his two cents on MG Ramachandran's death anniversary. Vishal described him as "a towering icon whose life proved that cinema can inspire change and leadership can be rooted in compassion." The actor also added, "Legends never fade, they live on through the ideals they leave behind." On the other hand, actor Nasser, who is the chief of South Indian Artistes' Association, also known as Nadigar Sangam, paid his tributes to MGR alongside other members of the organisation.

MGR played a key role in the establishment of Nadigar Sangam, the association for actors from South India. According to Nadigar Sangam, the legendary actor once asked for membership in the organisation, which played a key role in its establishment. In the 1950s, the actor aided in the completion of the legal procedures involved in the organisation's registration as well. Once, he also offered 5 lakh to help the organisation pay back a loan.

Vishal also serves as the General Secretary at Nadigar Sangam, whereas Karthi holds the Treasurer post.
