Tamil Nadu election 2026: Look-alike artistes caught between joy and uncertainty

Vijaykanth Kumar and M.G. Antony, known for their look-alike performances, express frustration over limited work opportunities outside election seasons. They rely on temple festivals, carnivals, weddings, and occasional gigs to sustain themselves, highlighting the lack of consistent work in non-election years. V. Ramya and S. Ammu, other women artistes who specialize in impersonating former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, face similar challenges with reduced opportunities and inadequate sanitation facilities during campaigns.
