It's election year in five states, including Tamil Nadu, and southern superstar Suriya is helping spread awareness about voting rights by means of typically 2016 device. Suriya's preferred method to drive home his message - a Dubsmash video; the dialogue he chose to lip-sync - one made famous in the 1995 Tamil film Muthu by Rajinikanth, no less.
Suriya, star of hit films like the original Singam, uses the video to urge fans to exercise their right to vote and raise their voices for the right reasons. The actor tweeted the special video on March 3 and it has since received over 3,900 retweets and over 6,800 likes.
Muthu, a film which sparked a Rajinikanth frenzy in Japan, starred Thalaivar in a double role as a righteous zamindar and his disenfranchised son. As spoken by Rajinikanth, the Tamil lines in Suriya's Dubsmash roughly translate into: "Cough, hiccups, yawning, good, bad, hunger, sleep, birth and death - all these things will come on their own. You can't ask for them. If they come, you can't ask why they came and if they go, neither can you complain about them."
While Twitter loves Suriya's special message, here's a look at the original dialogue:
