Chennai: Superstar Rajinikanth met his fans on Monday filling a gap of eight years of such meeting.
Rajinikanth will meet his fans for four days in Chennai next week starting Monday. The actor will meet his die-hard fans in ‘batches’, between May 15 and 19.
The superstar had said it: “was long due for me.”
Rajni on Monday cleared the air around his political ambitions and his next few films.
“No, no. Absolutely there is no politics,” Rajinikanth responded when asked about any ‘major announcement.
“My accidental brush with politics happened 20 years ago. Since then many people have been using my name to gain in their political career. People have been speculating for years about me joining politics. But I had made it cleat back then only. I have never made any such announcement since then about joining politics. Nobody has my backing and I don’t support anyone. I am not joining an political party.”
“Some people have wanted to become MLAs and politicans and have been using me to make money. God willing, if I ever decide to join politics I will do it for the welfare of people and not to make money. As of now, god wants me to become an actor, and I am happy with that,” Rajinikanth said.
The last time he held a meeting with fans was eight years ago post his ‘Sivaji’ success.
The meeting was held in Chennai at Raghavendra Mandapam, Kodambakkam, and along with the superstar veteran filmmaker SP Muthuraman.
The superstar also asked the youth to refrain from smoking and drinking, and said that alcohol affects your decision making abilities.
The superstar will appear on the big screen opposite Akshay Kumar in 2.0.
