Tamizhum Tamizhanum - II ( Fan Clubs )

Vishal Rasigar Manram, I really surprised to this new fan club in my native place but I was not shocked this time, because I got enough amont shock when I saw many fan clubs like this in the past years for actors like Viajy, Ajit, Surya, Prabu deva, Simbu, Barath, Siddarth, Dhanush, even more to list. Tamil youths are ready to start more & more fan clubs for future heroes. As usual Rural and Small town youth are Victims of these fan clubs.

Most of them well known about the existence of Rajini and Viajayakant fan clubs( Recently named changed as DMDK).If you unaware about these fanclubs, for you some of the activities of fan clubs which I know,

The number of Members in the fan club = the number of Designations in the fan club. Each one will get one designation. They are always ready to create new designations for new members.

The higher level position goes to the member who ready to spend more money and time for the Fan club. (President, Vice President, Secretary, etc…..

There is no restriction for Fan club name but should mean that particular hero, Mostly heroes nickname and his movies.(Thala Ajit, Gilli Vijay...)

They will act as brand ambassador for their hero’s nick name, new style and upcoming movies. They will never get any benefit out of this. (Almost one photo standing near to t actor).

They have to spend their own money for Banners, Cut outs, Posters for all the brand building activities of that particular Hero.

They will watch many times that particular hero movie and proud to say that.
Some times Different fan clubs members fight with each other to express they are “DIE HARD” fans.

Most of my friends are didn’t accept these actors behaviors have more influential with the fan club members. Here most of them are Followers rather than be a Fan. They are ready to accepts whatever that particular hero says.

I just got a forwarded message few months back about Chandramuki movie huge commercial hit, whose money is that? I don’t think none of my educated friends(Mostly Rajini fans) watched many times in theatres. Another think Cinema industry is become back door entry for Politic & who knows may be the fan clubs will become some of future political parties like DMDK.

But the thing is in Tamilnadu actors are not just STAR, they treated as GOD by many groups.

Liked this post. Very true. Your narration goes hand in hand with our hostel wardens story. He is a fan of Ajit and he says being an office bearer of fan clubs is a very very costly affair for poor people. And incidentally only poor people are members of most of these clubs.

BTW why dont we start a club for Sun Music TV Jockeys.. Naanum thamizhan dhane!!!
