Years have passed since he acted in movies. Many years have passed since he heard the roar of his speech. But the sea of people is still flowing.
When we see lakhs of people gathered to see the body of DMDK leader Vijayakanth, it proves that this is the mark of his life.
The crowd that comes to a man’s death will tell what he did in his lifetime. It will also be known how that man captured the hearts of the people in public life.
We have seen this in the deaths of many political parties and celebrities. In this sense, even though Vijayakanth was in a political party, no one would be his enemy. He has done so much good.
In the days when Vijayakanth became a big star after acting, leading actors were acting in the films of experienced directors.
But Vijayakanth changed that style and introduced 54 new directors. Similarly, there was one type of food for the hero, heroine, and another type of food for the technicians in the shoot. And there was only one meal for the technicians.
But it was Vijayakanth who arranged to provide food three times a day. He also said that non-vegetarian food should be served compulsorily on 2 or 3 days a week. Similarly, he brought a situation where everyone from the hero, heroine to the light boy would have the same food. They say that food was being served 24 hours a day in Vijayakanth’s office.
Not only that, if anyone asked him for help, he would immediately give the money he had in his hand without even checking if what they said was true or false. He has also given free tickets to many poor and simple people to study in his college.
Vijayakanth, who did so many favors, died of pneumonia this morning. DMDK workers are crying after hearing this news. Following this, they gathered in front of the party office. Vijayakanth’s body left for the party office at 10 am. It took 4 hours to cover a distance of 4 km., with people paying their respects along the way.
The heads of people are visible around his party office in Koyambedu. There are heads of people above the flyover. Below, people are gathered like waves of the sea. There is traffic congestion on the Poonamallee High Road as volunteers continue to come to pay their respects at the party office.
Vijayakanth has not been involved in party work recently, nor has he acted in films. He has not given any interviews for so many years. But they have gathered like this without any expectations. This is the mark of his life.
