Comedians rule the roost

This Assembly elections, the popular comedians of Tamil cinema Vadivelu, Senthil and Singamuthu are ruling the roost.

Vadivelu, who is canvassing for the ruling DMK has turned out to be a crowd-puller for the DMK. The actor, known for his colloquial dialogue and funny one-liners, doesn't hesitate to involve the crowds in his address and was even seen shaking a leg to local music.

His mimicking of Vijayakant, considered to be a rival due to some tiff as colleagues in Tamil cinema industry, has been his main focus which seems to give the crowd a hearty laugh.

Senthil is campaigning for the AIADMK. His bold speeches are attracting huge crowd. Meanwhile Singamuthu has been drafted in for campaigning by the AIADMK to counter the assault of Vadivelu. Soince both enjoy previous enmity, they hurl charges and counter-charges against each other.

But these comedians are serious about their business and there is no nonsense in their campaigning
