Srinivas,
Nice posts. I too agree MGR could have thought about coming to power before starting ADMK itself. As you mentioned, he was
definetly a clever strategist and master of Marketing.
Howeever i dont think he would have thought abt coming to power in earlier stage itself.
This just fitted the scenario in 1978. We can see the dialogue aptly suited for the story of Nadodi Mannan Too.Quote:

And Once DMK came to power in 1967 he could have probably started waiting for his time.
Till before that his movies and songs have a pinch of DMK support.
There are several things(songs and scenes) in his movies somehow suited him in the later days.
For example..
the lines
Kooda iruntahe Kuzhi parithaalum,
Koduthathu kaathu nirkum..
I can fit these lines with the incident of MR Radha with MGR(Shot in throat).
In tamil we say a word Theerkatharisi. Probably MGR may come under that category.
However it was very clear that after he came out of DMK, every movie he took had political dialogues againk DMK or used as political propaganda for ADMK.
