Description

Explore the deep connection between film and power in South India with this groundbreaking study from Routledge. This book provides a fresh look at the cinematic and political lives of two icons, MGR and Rajinikanth. By looking at their private and public personas, the text examines how their on-screen characters and off-screen identities constantly shape one another. This volume offers a new way to understand the political history of post-Independent Tamil Nadu. Rather than following common myths, the author uses original concepts to map the cultural and psycho-political landscape of the region. It is a vital resource for anyone interested in how movies influence society and how leaders use cinema to connect with the public. Whether you are a student of film or a researcher of South Asian politics, this book provides a necessary perspective on the evolution of contemporary South India through its most famous stars.
