It has been two days since reports speculating that actor Dhanush may enter politics in the coming years started making the rounds. The other day, the All India Dhanush Fans and Welfare Association unveiled an official flag intended to represent the fan community across India. Images shared by the fan club show a red-and-white flag featuring Dhanush in a folded-hands pose.
After Thalapathy Vijay's meteoric rise to power, at least two major celebrity names have been heard in speculative media reports. Viral social media posts and fan meetings fueled rumors of actor Suriya's political entry, but his fan organization publicly clarified that the speculation was unfounded and urged people to rely only on official announcements. The second star hero name is that of Dhanush. So far, the Kuberaa and SIR actor has not made any statement.
If Dhanush starts working on the ground through his fan associations from now, his film choices might see a gradual change in the coming years. He wears his devotion to Lord Shiva on his sleeves in a society where one major political party (the DMK) has vowed to "eradicate Sanatana Dharma". Films like Idly Kadai reflect Dhanush's traditionalist sensibilities.
Incidentally, he is Rajinikanth's former son-in-law. Rajini toyed with the idea of debuting in politics for decades before finally giving up in the name of health-related concerns.
