Actor Rajinikanth, who took a surprising turn and abandoned his political plans last month, appealed to his supporters today to stop pressing him with protests and “don’t hurt me again and again.”
The 70-year-old man issued a statement after his fans organized a protest yesterday to urge him to withdraw his decision to opt out of politics.

“Some of my fans together with the expelled cadres of Rajini Makkal Mandram have protested in Chennai against my decision not to enter politics. I have made my decision, I call on everyone not to indulge in things (protests) that hurt me “. added.
In December, Rajinikanth, about to launch his political party after years of speculation, withdrew citing his health.
“My hospitalization was a God-given warning. My campaign will have an impact on health in the midst of the pandemic,” he said, days after being hospitalized for fluctuations in blood pressure during a shooting in Hyderabad.
Before that, the megastar was set to reveal her political party plan on New Years Eve. “It’s now or never,” he had said on December 3, after meeting with his closest advisers.
Two days after his discharge from hospital, he issued a statement in which he said: “It is with extreme sadness that I say that I cannot enter politics. Only I know the pain I went through announcing this decision. Without entering electoral politics, I will serve the people. This decision of mine will disappoint my fans and people, but forgive me. “
Rajinikanth’s debut in politics had been anticipated by his supporters for nearly 25 years and only recently, with months until the Tamil Nadu elections, had he indicated that he was finally ready.
But reports of his reluctance emerged in October, when he said doctors advised him to stay away from the heat and dust of a campaign. Responding to rumors triggered by a leaked letter, he admitted that he had been warned by doctors that his immunity had weakened after a kidney transplant, making him more susceptible to the coronavirus.
