The political storm that his film Thalaivaa had to bear in 2013 made him more vocal, social messages became a must-have in his films since then.
Actor Vijay who is commonly known as a man of few words, took political potshots at parties in audio launch events of his films, his films thereby bore the brunt of 'political vendetta' as his fans allege.
