He captioned the video, “Let the Tamil flame spread!” Addressing it to Deputy CM of TN and actor Udhayanidhi Stalin, he wrote, “Before I started watching the film Parasakthi, I did not expect at all that this film would become a resounding call for the elections our alliance is going to face. Yes, my wish is not just that this film should succeed, but it is also my genuine blessing.”
