00:00Briefly shifting our focus down south viewers, we are taking you to Tamil Nadu next, where big statement by the
00:07AIADMK leader on actor Dhanush.
00:10Balaji has to say, will welcome Dhanush into the party. EPS ready to welcome who accepts his leadership.
00:17Dhanush's films have impacted the public, the poor. Such actors are always welcome into the AIADMK.
00:23AIADMK in fact comes out to praise Dhanush's work, Public Impact.
00:26Says, EPS welcomes those who believe in his leadership, open to actors who can connect with masses.
00:33Big statement coming in, remember, at a time when there has been enough speculation with Dhanush joining the political sphere
00:40of the landscape of Tamil Nadu.
00:42Whether launching his own party or joining forces and hands with an existing party.
00:48Those are all questions that remain. Let's listen in to what Rajen Jibbalaji had to say on Dhanush right now.
01:02It's a good one.
01:08The parties come from the stage of the party and this is a good one.
01:35On that note, Pramod Madhav joining us on the broadcast with more details on the same.
01:40Pramod, very good afternoon to you. You know, speculations have been plenty with regards to whether Dhanush will be launching
01:48his own party, whether he'll be joining an existing party, when will he be making his political debut.
01:53All of that is mounting. Amid that, we do see AIDMK making this offer and saying that, yes, we will
01:59be happy to have him in our corner and EPS would be welcoming him.
02:05How are you looking at it?
02:06Good afternoon, Sri. It's very interesting to see how AIDMK is, even before Dhanush could make any kind of open
02:12remarks that they're not trying to bring in inside the party.
02:15Interesting there are multiple forces on this particular issue. But the first and foremost thing is that Dhanush has just,
02:20you know, he's in the second step.
02:21The first step is he called for a fan club meeting. And the second one is he has converted his
02:26fan club, Dhanush fan club, into Dhanush Narpani here come, which means the Dhanush, you know, welfare movement and such.
02:32Now, amidst all this AIDMK claims, this is former Minister Rajendra Balaji from AIDMK who said that anybody is welcome
02:39to join AIDMK, but he also keeps a kind of, you know, important aspect in front.
02:43That is, they should accept EPS as the leader. Then only they are welcoming to the present AIDMK, Shushriya.
02:51Now, considering the way Dhanush is also progressing himself, still now it is rumours, but if he wants to enter
02:56politics, I think he's going to put forward himself.
02:59Will that work in AIDMK? There cannot be two squads in one sheet, and that's something that we need to
03:03wait and watch.
03:04But from Dhanush's end, we don't have any kind of, you know, response to this particular kind of claim.
03:09But AIDMK is definitely welcoming him if he accepts EPS as the leader here in Shriya.
03:15Right, right. Thank you, Pramod, for bringing us all of those details with regards to this entire situation.
03:21And, of course, questions continue to mount with regards to Dhanush's entry into the political fray of Tamil Nadu.
