Tamil stars who are unapologetic fans of the MGR!

Late actor MGR aka MG Ramachandran was a favorite actor for many, and he was the first Tamil actor to become a Chief Minister. He had won the hearts of his fans through his winning performances and social activities as a political leader. Still, there are few people in Tamil Nadu, who refuse to accept that he is no more. Several cinema stars follow his style both on and off-screen as they admire him a lot. Yesterday marked the birth anniversary of MGR, and many have been remembering the legendary actor on social media. Here is a look at five Tamil stars who addressed themselves as MGR fan.
