The Nadigar Sangam elections have come to a halt in July month after actor Vishal has filed a stay on it. The recent word is that during the press meet at Coimbatore when Radharavi was attending the inauguration of the Association of Cinema Drama Artists, he announced that Simbu and S. J. Surya are likely to compete from their side. 

He also added that as the veteran artist cum the former Chief Minister Karunanidhi is an esteemed member of the Association and hence he could not be included for voting. There was also an initiative taken to build a separate office for the new Association at Coimbatore where he reasoned for demolishing the old building. 

There were already rumours that Dhanush and Simbu were going to contest few weeks before but now only Simbu has turned up. The elections are likely to be conducted by the September month. On questioning about the issue created by Vishal, Radharavi stated no comments on a person who refuses to attend to the general meetings of their group.
