Stars Rise In The South

Besides Bofors, actor Amitabh Bachchan had another reason to quit politics: he did not want to divide his fans along political lines. Bachchan recently wrote on his blog that his distancing from politics came after an incident in Assam, where he had gone after his victory against political stalwart Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna in the early 1980s.

A young man had told him: " I am your fan, but I do not support your party. You are making my life difficult.

I am torn between two loyalties. Leave politics.

" He did. Mumbai's film industry lost a chance to do a south - a megastar going from posters to the podium, and making a huge success of it.

Andhra actor Chiranjeevi, who launched his party on Tuesday, inherits the long tradition of southern stars like M.G. Ramachandran, N.T. Rama Rao, J. Jayalalithaa and M. Karunanidhi of living up to their XXL screen images in their political lives. Just Tamil Nadu has produced five chief ministers in a row connected with films - C.N. Annadurai, Karunanidhi, MGR, Janaki Ramachandran and Jayalalithaa.

In contrast, a second Parliament stint for Dharmendra from Bikaner looks bleak. Ditto with Govinda.

Only the late Sunil Dutt and now Vinod Khanna are among those who won elections and sustained the goodwill. "There are solid reasons for southern stars doing better than their Bollywood counterparts.
