Tamil Nadu Assembly election: Film producer-director Sundar C. is NDA’s Madurai Central candidate

Film producer-director Sundar C. is nominated as NDA’s candidate for Madurai Central, contesting on AIADMK’s ‘two leaves’ symbol.

Film producer, director, and actor Sundar C. has been nominated by the Pudiya Neethi Katchi (New Justice Party) to contest from the prestigious Madurai Central Assembly constituency.

The party, which is an ally of the AIADMK, said it would seek votes on the latter’s ‘two leaves’ symbol.

A.C. Shanmugam, founder of the PNK, said on Saturday (March 28, 2026) that the AIADMK, under the leadership of Edappadi K. Palaniswami, would sweep the Assembly election and comfortably form the next government. He added that, with the DMK facing severe criticism from the public for its “failures across sectors” over the past five years, the AIADMK would restore its lost sheen.

Mr. Sundar has worked as a producer, writer, and director in Tamil cinema, and has been associated with hit films such as Anbe Sivam, the Aranmanai series, and the Kalakalappu series. It may be recalled that his name was recently proposed as the director of a new film starring Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth, but he later expressed his inability to take up the project.

The PNK, which has been allotted two seats in the NDA, will decide on the second seat on Monday (March 30) in Chennai, Mr. Shanmugam said in a press note.
