I am amazed at the range of thinking reflected in the old texts, especially on human nature. In Chos film career as a comedian he always stood equal among his peers like Naagesh who stole the hearts of Tamil Nadu people. His duets like Jaam Bazaar jaggu with Manorama are enjoyed even today. In fact, Mr Cho had been consulted at the creation of Jayalalithaas political career by the then actress and by MGR himself. The troupe never had to weather failure, but their riotous rehearsals and tours strengthened bonds. There was no need for in-depth research, anyone with a superficial grasp of politics could have written my plays, he says.

Karunanidhi, in the 1996 state assembly election by helping him forge an alliance with the TMC, a break away faction of Congress led by G. K. Moopanar with aid from the popular film actor Rajinikanth and opposed Jayalalitha from 1996-1999 when allegations of corruption fell on Jayalalitha.
