Amidst the intense campaigning, the South Indian Film Artistes Association conducts the elections today for the president and the office bearers. The election will be held once in 3 years. This is the record in the Nadigar Sangam history that the artists are clashing against each other publicly.
Sarath Kumar
was reelected last year, unopposed. Veteran actress Sachu was denied her vote, as she came without the membership evidence. Similarly,
Mansoor Ali Khan
was denied a vote, as he was dismissed from the Association. Sarath Kumar said that the actors should be united forever and they should not be divided on the basis of a religion or caste.
