MGR – KarunanidhiTamil classical artistes M. Karunanidhi and Keeri were as much snakes in the political arena as MGR, a revolutionary leader who dominated politics and cinema. They are rarely seen on the same stage.
Karunanidhi emerged as the Leader of the Opposition while MGR was in the limelight as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. At that time they used to pat each other on the party forums.

As a result, after the death of MGR, a cold war broke out between Jayalalithaa and Karunanidhi. However, Karunanidhi would be more rightly sided with MGR than Jayalalithaa. The meeting between MGR and Karunanidhi, who is both a hare and a snake in politics, took place at the Palaniappa Theater in Pudukottai.
In 1960, both appeared together on the stage of Palaniappa Theatre, Pudukottai. Participating in this, Palaniappa Chettiar and all the office bearers of the party posed for photographs together.
