- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,April 19 2019]
Thalapathy Vijay's 'Sarkar' movie directed by A.R. Murugadoss and produced by Sun Pictures created widespread awareness about section 49 P which facilitates a legal voter to exercise his vote if his vote had already been cast illegally.
In the Lok Sabha Elections 2019 conducted in Tamil Nadu just like what Vijay faced in 'Sarkar', Manikandan of Tirunelveli found that his vote had already been cast by an imposter at the Panakudy polling booth number 48. The authorities helped Manikandan to cast his vote under section 49 P and the Vijay fans are celebrating the fact that its their hero's movie which set the right example.
