3 min readKochiMay 27, 2026 08:22 PM IST Widely regarded as “theeya sakthi” (evil force) plaguing show business, piracy has been giving producers and investors sleepless nights for decades. Despite efforts, the illegal activity continues unabated, with the most recent and notable victim being director H Vinoth’s Jana Nayagan, touted as the swansong of actor Joseph Vijay, who currently serves as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. During a recent interview, renowned producer G Dhananjheyan urged the central and state governments to crack down on those engaged in piracy, book them under stringent sections of the law, and ensure they receive strict punishment. Pointing out that only a united, strong movement can keep the illegal act at bay, Dhananjheyan maintained that the Tamil Film Active Producers Association (TFAPA) recently apprised Vijay of the situation and sought his support in the battle against it.

Karunanidhi, faced in 2006. The TVK, which contested the recent Assembly polls on its own, secured 108 seats (with Mr. Vijay winning in two seats). However, 20 years ago, the DMK, which faced the Assembly elections in alliance with the Indian National Congress, Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), and the Communist Party of India (Marxist), won only in 96 seats. However, the DMK formed the government with outside support from its allies, even though the Congress, which won 34 seats repeatedly, exerted pressure on the DMK to accommodate its MLAs in the government.

Jayalalithaa, then general secretary of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and Leader of the Opposition, never …
