"Sarkar" is a 2018 Indian Tamil-language political action film¹. The film was written and directed by A. R. Murugadoss, and produced by Kalanithi Maran of Sun Pictures. The film stars Vijay, Keerthy Suresh, and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar in the lead roles. The plot follows Sundar Ramasamy, a highly successful non-resident Indian businessman based in the United States. He arrives in Chennai to cast his vote in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election. However, he finds out that someone else had already voted in his name. When he decides to investigate the matter, he finds himself pitted against two corrupt politicians. Despite the controversies, “Sarkar” achieved commercial success, grossing around ₹243.90–260 crore worldwide. The film's success led to the Election Commission of India creating awareness regarding Section 49P of the Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961 that allows a voter to have the right to get back his/her ballot back and vote if someone else voted in that individual's name.
