The news of actor Vijay's supporters entering the political fray has created surprise in filmdom.

No sooner the news of one Madhavan contesting on behalf of Vijay Fans Association from Andipatti against Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa spread, than the actor promptly announced that he had not endorsed his fans to take to politics.

The actor reportedly denied given permission to his fans to use his name and contest on behalf of his association.

In a press release, Vijay's father and noted director S A Chandrasekhar said,'Vijay is an artiste who loves all parties. He is a man who respects all religions. So, don't paint him with any color and confine him into a small circle.'
