With elections around for Nadigar Sangam, rumours of fielding a film actor, not affiliated to any political party was doing rounds for the post of Nadigar Sangam president.
With Vijayakanth taking to full-time politics, his chances of seeking re-election were considered very remote.
Actor-producer-director Nasser's name was doing the rounds for the post.
However when contacted, Nasser, currently shooting for Emdaan Magan in Karaikudi, has denied the reports as rumours.
'I am not in the race and not going to contest'.
It looks more certain that Sarath Kumar, the present general secretary of the association, may emerge the top contender for the top post.
