Haasan, when asked on the massive turnout seen in actor-politician Vijay's rallies, and the criticism that the "entire crowds" will not get converted into votes, told reporters: "It is for sure, (not all of them) it will not get converted into votes, it is applicable to all leaders." When asked again if this norm is applicable to TVK chief Vijay, he said: "When it is applicable to all leaders, how can we exclude Vijay? It is applicable to me and all the leaders in India, you have attracted crowd but (all of) that will not get converted into votes." When the massive crowds replied with high-decibel chants of "Vijay," it was seen as a pledge to vote for the TVK and the TVK chief profusely thanked the people. Vijay said TVK's objective is to usher in a "true democracy, one that has a conscience."
