Rajnikanth Not To Enter Politics Now, Fans Erupt In Social Media Frenzy

Chennai: Megastar Rajinikanth confirmed on Tuesday that he has health issues and doctors have advised him not to involve himself in active politics.

However, the actor’s fans have gone berserk on Twitter to demand his entry into politics, saying that he was the only hope for Tamil Nadu, Deccan Chronicle reported.

Quoting what was described as a leaked letter of Rajinikanth, some media outlets put out a story that the actor might exit politics without even entering, prompting his fans to trend a Tamil hashtag “If at all I vote it will be for Rajini only”’ through the day, calling their ‘Thalivar’ to come and also questioned the veracity of the leaked letter.

Even as the hashtag was trending, Rajinikanth put out a tweet past Tuesday noon saying, “A letter masquerading as my statement has been making its rounds on social networking sites and the media. Everyone knows that it is not my statement. Yet some of the information in the letter on my health condition and doctors’ advice are all true.”

He went on to say that he would inform his political stand to the people after discussing it with the office-bearers of Rajini Makkal Mandram (Rajini People’s Forum).

The forum was formed with the members of his erstwhile fans’ association after he had made an announcement that he would be entering politics by launching his own party.
