Last month, Rajinikanth had hinted that his long-awaited entry into electoral politics could be delayed.
Chennai:
Superstar Rajinikanth said today that he would announce his long-awaited political party on December 31 and launch it in January, ending years of speculation.
Rajinikanth made the announcement a day after meeting the senior officials of his forum, the Rajini Makkal Mandram. Later on Wednesday, he said he will “announce my decision soon” on his electoral policy plans.
“District officials have expressed their views. They have said that they will agree with any decision I make. I will announce my decision as soon as possible,” the 69-year-old told reporters outside his Poes Garden residence in Chennai.
Last month, the actor had hinted that his long-awaited entry into electoral politics could be delayed. A letter attributed to him cited doctors’ concern over the campaign during the pandemic and the potential impact on Rajinikanth’s health. The letter appeared to indicate that the actor had been advised to restrict travel as he has a kidney condition and could be vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus.
