Tamil actor Vishal, on February 7, issued a statement that he is not entering politics as of now. This comes after reports of him starting a political party did the rounds on social media. In his statement, Vishal said that he has been meeting and helping people in need through his fan club and would continue to do so. He also hinted at a possible political entry in the years to come.
Days after Thalapathy Vijay announced his political debut, reports of Vishal following suit went viral. With his statement on February 7, he explained his stance.
His statement read, "I am forever indebted to the people of Tamil Nadu who recognised me as an actor and social worker in the society. With the aim of helping people as much as I can, from the beginning, I thought that my fan club should not be treated as an average club, but it should be run to benefit people. We have been running the fan club with the aim of doing our best for those who are in need."
Vishal further hinted at creating a welfare movement and make an impact in every district. "The next step is to create a people's welfare movement and work district-wise, constituency-wise and branch-wise. Through the 'Devi Foundation' run in the name of my mother, we help many poor and needy students every year. We are also helping affected farmers."
"I meet people in many places where I go for shooting and listen to their basic needs and grievances and fulfill their demands through my people's welfare movement. I have never expected political gains while indulging in welfare activities. If nature demands, then I will not hesitate to speak for the people in future," he concluded.
