The indications are clear that Sura release date is fast approaching.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay who was keeping an extremely low profile, has now issued a press statement where he is quoted as saying: “I ’m preparing myself to enter politics.”

Vijay it looks has made it a habit to talk about politics prior to the release of his films. The actor who is shooting for his new film Kavalkaran with Asin in Karaikudi said: “Time and circumstances have to be conducive, since politics is an ocean with turbulent waves. I have to prepare myself for it. My people’s movement is getting ready for the challenges ahead.”

Like all actors who came to politics Vijay too uses punchlines from his films like quoting the Pokkiri dialogue: “Once I take a decision, I will not retract my steps even if I want to. This is not a dialogue, this is the truth.”

Sources close to the actor says; “Vijay is very keen to plunge into politics and with state elections due exactly a year from now, he will take the first baby steps into Tamil Nadu politics at the right time.”

However his detractors in the industry say that all his “broad hints that he will foray into politics are only said prior to the release of his films.”
