From “Jai Bhim” to “Jai Modi”? Pa Ranjith Stuns TN by Backing NDA’s Porkodi Armstrong
Pa Ranjith – the man who built his brand on raw anti-caste rage, Ambedkarite fire, and Dravidian swagger – just walked straight into nda territory. In a jaw-dropping move that’s already exploding across tamil Nadu, the director met BJP-allied candidate Porkodi Armstrong and openly declared his support.
No vague statement. No “personal choice” cop-out. He went full public endorsement for the national democratic alliance candidate in the middle of the election season.
The same filmmaker who made millions preaching social justice, who positioned himself as the voice of the oppressed, who dropped “Jai Bhim” lines like it was oxygen, just handed his weight behind a candidate backed by the very forces he once roasted on screen.
The savage checklist tamil Nadu can’t unsee:
• Pa Ranjith, king of anti-caste cinema, now officially backs NDA.
• The man who built a career calling out power structures just data-aligned with one.
• Progressive hero or political opportunist? The mask just slipped.
• tamil Nadu’s film-politics nexus just got a whole lot more hypocritical.
• One photo. One meeting. And years of “revolutionary” branding went up in flames.
This isn’t just another celebrity endorsement. This is the kind of flip that makes every fan who cheered his films feel played.
Tamil Nadu is watching. And it’s not laughing.
