But regarding MGR always think, whether he plays King roll or Begger role, but people should see him as MGR only and not as charectors.
In politics Shivaji did not take it as serious, just used it as pickle, whereas it was the main food for MGR.
Shivaji always took wrong decitions in wrong times in politics, and he did not aimed any big posts and he never planned for that. Thatswhy he faded in politics, when MGR became a successful leader.
