Rumors are doing the rounds in Kollywood that Vijay is getting ready to launch himself into politics.

The actor's plans to undertake a fast on Sunday along with members of his fans' association at Chepauk on Chennai is seen as his maiden attempt to foray into politics.

It may be recalled that he launched a flag for his fans association. Also a recent survey by Loyola College concluded that he enjoys more popularity than Rajinikanth in Tamilnadu.

Amidst such a scenario, his move to hold a fast for Lankan Tamils obviously throws out a lot of speculations. The fast would be inaugurated by his father and acclaimed director S A Chandrasekhar. Prominent film personalities are expected to take part in the Fast.

Fans of Vijay hope that their favorite hero would give hints on his entry to politics at the Fast protest. They say it is a show of their strength for a common cause.

It may be recalled that Rajnikanth had recently turned down the request of his fans to plunge into politics.
