THRISSUR: With the arrival of Suresh Gopi as the BJP candidate, the race in Thrissur constituency has come to a new level. He is one of the most successful actors of Malayalam films. His strong character in many films are still in the minds of the people. He has given life to various characters like fighting against injustice and corruption. His wish to become an IPS officer has given him strength to do such roles excellently. However, when doing such strong characters he said that he was not able to call even ‘poda’. The behaviour of such strong characters in films later came into his life and activities.

The actor states a valid reason for his transition from films to politics. Continuously criticising the political situation existing in the state will not do any good and what else could be done, I thought and finally found an answer ‘join politics’. Nobody will say that I didn’t do anything as the nominated MP for the last three years. The details of what I did are with the concerned. What the other nominated MPs did and when compared that with my work, and if I expose all that where will they go and hide, he asked?
