Actor Kamal Haasan had launched his political party Makkal Needhi Maiam before an year, and this year his party had contested the Lok Sabha elections and had secured a considerable percentage of votes as a fresher. With the actor strongly opposing BJP and its moves, the party is said to have made a plan.

It has been said that BJP is planning to counter Kamal Haasan by making actress and BJP member Gauthami as the spokesperson of the party in Tamil Nadu. Gauthami has been known for acting in many movies with Kamal and they had last acted together in Papanasam.

An official clarification on this speculation is awaited from BJP. Gauthami, who has acted in few serials is now acting in the movie Thupparivalan 2 directed by Mysskin and starring Vishal and Prasanna in lead roles.
