| 4.3 DMK AND M.G.RAMACHANDRAN
MGR was equally popular both in cinema and politics which had been properly utilized by the DMK party for its development. However the then Chief-Minister Karunanidhi became jealous of his popularity and started taking steps to discolour him. He encouraged his son M.K.Muthu to involve in the cinema field in 1971. M.K.Muthu was directed to show his attention deeply in the cinema field and was encouraged to compete with MGR. So M.K.Muthu became an actor in the cine field. Due to this there arose a dispute between the two Fan Clubs. Karunanidhi went to the extent of writing scripts for his son M.K.Muthu’s cinemas. In fact, M.K.Muthu copied all the activities of MGR including the hair style. Yet he or his father could not succeed in reducing the popularity of MGR. Dishort the rift caused the birth of the AIADMK party as a rival to DMK.
