Actor turned politician R Sarathkumar's daughter Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, who made her debut in 2012 with Tamil movie Podaa Podi and has also appeared in several Malayalam and Kannada films, has made headlines after she slammed actor and secretary of Nadigar Sangam, Vishal Krishna, over his latest election campaign video. Yes, you read that right! The actress took to the microblogging site to criticise Vishal for dragging her father's name and shaming him once again, during one of his campaigns. Sandakozhi 2 Trailer: Vishal Once Again Gets into Saviour Mode as He Fights Baddies and Romances Keerthy Suresh

For the uninitiated, earlier too (back in October 2015) Vishal, whose team headed by actor Nasser won the Nadigar Sangam election, had accused Varalaxmi's parents (Sarathkumar and Radha Ravi) of mismanagement of funds and filed a case against them. And this time, a video has been uploaded on Vishal's YouTube channel, Vishal Film Factory, which takes a dig at Sarathkumar and Radha Ravi's leadership.

Varalaxmi's post read, "Dear Vishal, I'm saddened and shocked at how low you have stooped down in your recent election campaign video. Any respect I have left for you is now gone..it's so sad to see you harp on my father's past especially when you have NOT been able to prove squat..since you keep saying the law is the highest..according to that same law any person is innocent until proven guilty..if he was guilty he would have been sentenced by now.. So have some class and grow up.."

She further added, "When you make such cheap videos it shows your class can't blame you, I guess cos that's the way u have been brought up.. let's not behave like you are a saint... I think we all know your double standards and lies. If you were such a saint I don't think people from your own so-called #pandavarani would have left and created a group just to bring you down. If you are so proud of what you have done why don't you showcase that instead of bringing down my dad when he's not even involved this time."

The actress further wrote, "So many people can't be wrong about you.. all this time I respected you and I have been there for you as a friend always. Now you have taken it too far.. it's so sad instead of making a positive video about the things you have achieved you resorted to the lowest form of campaigning. Well, I guess you are a true actor at least off screen after all..!! Like you say I really hope the truth prevails... Well you just lost my vote."

Meanwhile, Varalaxmi and Vishal, who are childhood friends, were rumoured to be in a relationship. However, the two dismissed all such reports and had said that they were best friends. Also, putting rumours of dating Varalaxmi to an end, Vishal is reportedly tying the knot to Andhra Pradesh girl Anisha Alla Reddy and the wedding will take place this year, as per reports.

On the professional front, Vishal will be next seen in a film titled Ayogya, which is a Telugu remake of Temper, helmed by Venkat. The actor, who was last seen in Vishal 27, is also working on a film with director Sundar C (who also helmed Vishal 27) titled Madha Gaja Raja. Stay tuned!
