Ameer has reportedly decided to enroll himself as a primary member in actor-turned-politician Vijayakanth's DMDK

November 13th, 2008

Kollywoood directors taking to politics isn't something new: we have seen the likes of Vijaya T. Rajendhar and K, Bhagyaraj. Ameer appears to be the latest addition to this list. Even in his wildest of dreams, Ameer wouldn't have thought that his speech at the Rameswaram rally would end up in a jail sentence for him. Circumstances got big on him and he had to stay put behind the bars for some days.

Having taken baptism by fire, Ameer has reportedly decided to enroll himself as a primary member in actor-turned-politician Vijayakanth's DMDK and is even considering contesting in the ensuing assembly election. Ameer is likely to meet Vijaykanth later this week. As expected, his move has met with appreciation and criticism with friends welcoming and detractors dissecting it.

Ameer's well-wishers are reportedly trying to impress upon him the fact that at a time when he is successful as a director in Kollywood, his political foray is totally uncalled for. Ameer, though, is all set to plunge into electioneering in the ensuing parliamentary elections early next year. The decision on which party he'd align himself with is what everyone is waiting to see.
