Kochi: Tamil actor Sathyaraj. who slammed the entry of film personalities into the Tamil Nadu's political field, hailed Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan as an excellent politician with strong ideals.

Sathyaraj added that there are many people, in Tamil Nadu, who are exactly like Pinarayi, and that they are all great human beings than the film personalities.
Criticising the tendency of actors becoming politicians, Sathyaraj revealed that he never wished to drift into politics in the last 41 years as an actor. He predicted that an actor wouldn’t be the chief minister of Tamil Nadu anymore, when asked about Kamal Haasan’s entry into politics.

The busy actor of the 1980s said that he wants a Communist government to gain power in Tamil Nadu as well. He added that Tamil Communist leaders like Nallakannayya, who is 95, are greater than the actors who are into politics.
