While many actors across industries have turned politicians, Vijay Antony is no hurry. The composer-producer, who is awaiting the release of Shakthi Thirumagan, recently revealed that he has no idea of entering politics.
In a recent event, he spoke about the neo political thriller film, directed by Arun Prabu and explained at length about the politics his film would showcase.
"The politics spoken in Sakthi Thirumagan will be universal. It is not confined to any particular party or nation. This is politics that happens all around the world. I have no plans to come to politics. I have done political films before this like Kodiyil Oruvan and Yeman. Sakthi Thirumagan will be from the viewpoint of director Arun. This is a dimension of politics that you wouldn't have seen before," he explained. Both actor Vijay Antony and the film's director Arun Prabu said that the film will talk people's politics and that it will be something that people can relate to.
Later, during a question and answer session, the actor was asked if he had plans to enter politics. Responding to the question, Vijay Antony made it clear that he had no such plans.
Shakthi Thirumagan, Vijay Antony's 25th film, also marks the return of actor Kannan, best known for his role in director Bharathiraja's 1982 film Kadhal Oviyam. The film also stars Trupthi Ravindra, Sunil Kriplani, Vaagai Chandrasekar, Master Keshav, and Cell Murugan. Vijay is composing Shakthi Thirumagan's music, besides acting in the film and producing it under his banner.
The film has raised expectations among audiences and fans of Arun Prabu's filmography whose first two films Aruvi and Vaazhl were critically acclaimed.
On the technical front, Shakthi Thirumagan also has cinematography by Shelley Calist and editing by Raymond Derrick Crasta, both of whom reunite with director Arun after 2021's Vaazhl.
The film is set to hit theatres on September 05 in theatres worldwide, alongside Sivakarthikeyan's Madharasi.
Apart from Tamil, Shakthi Thirumagan will also open in theatres bearing the title Bhadrakali in Telugu. It will have Malayalam and Hindi dubbed versions as well.
