MG .Ramachandran known as MGR was the only one highly successful Actor-turned politician.
1.MGR stopped acting in the year 1977, the last one was a super hit. Compared to the next best Sivaji Ganesan whose last 12 movies were failures?!. Sivaji simply lost market!
Even NTR inspite of his goodwill lost the rule to his Son-in-law only to die later in disgrace. Rajkumar of Karnataka never entered politics but he was abducted and kept as a hostage by the forest out-law Veerappan. A Hero, only in movies !
2.MGR consequetively won 3 elections in 1977, 79, 84!!. This is a record even now for any south Indian political party!
MGR died as the Chief Minister of the Tamilnadu state. Sivaji Ganesan's political career was pathetic !. When he floated a party after the demise of MGR and contested the state elections, he lost deposit!! later, he disbanded the party and died without significant achievement in his later ilfe either as an Actor and as a politician!
3.MGR's rule did not achieve anything significantly but It was a courruption less rule !!. None raised any charges against his Government! Compared to the trend prevailing now, it is quite amazing how the cabinet of MGR and the party men simply kept an order for their one and only leader !!
MGR's flamboyant style of acting is still liked by a section of people which is evident from his old movies running in class 2 theatres in the state.
