However, areas such as Chengalpattu, Tindivanam, Chidambaram, Arakonam, Dharmapuri and Pondicherry appear to be calm and there are no signs of Rajnikant fans campaigning against PMK candidates.

Undeterred by Rajnikant's call, PMK cadre is working overtime to ensure the success of the party nominees in these seats.

Meanwhile, Rajnikant's fans were said to be active in pockets of Dharmapuri Lok Sabha seat and were working for the success of the BJP nominee P D Elangovan, who had crossed over to BJP after PMK refused to renominate him.
