I had gone out with my family to Marina beach to enjoy our sunday over there and to celebrate the advent of my cousins.While we all were playing with frisbee,two gentlemen interrupted us from our play.They both politely introduced themselves,one of the two was a reporter and was from chennai and the other was a foreigner and a photographer.Within a few moments They told us that they were from BBC and were here to interview us regarding South Indian politics and many questions on how and why movie stars have the maximum probability to become politicians in south India? I didn't answer the question and they both left the place.
I just thought of this answering this question through this portal to establish myself.
In late 60's,only primary source of entertainment for Indians is cinema.Years passed by now,even today we look movies in the same way.Movies create a lot of buzz,hype,impact on people,we all look at moviestars with awe and show unconditional love for the characters they play .See,stars perform in their films aggrandize with positivity,every dialogue they deliver will definitely reach the audience either positive or negative.Indians dont look film as a film,they learn from it,they look to embed in their real lives,they inspire a lot from movies.People keep on repeating some punch lines delivered by their favorite star to other people.Stars like MGR,NTR,Rajini had taken their industry by a big storm during their respective periods because of their on-screen charisma makes them class apart,giving people back to back hits and becoming the undisputed kings of box office.People strongly believe that what they had done in their reel life,they would do the same thing their real life(serve for the people).I think this happens only in India I'm not here to defend,this is good i think that's why moviestars have maximum probability to become politicians.

Good Analysis Dhanush...There are many layers to this phenomenon....As you grow and observe you will cover the other layers too.....
