Rajinikanth hops off politics train

Rajinikanth has more or less decided to not go ahead with his political career.

Rajinikanth honoured at IIFI

Karan Johar was chosen to give Rajini the award, and the filmmaker had nothing but praiseworthy things to say.

The actor's response was to a query about an AIADMK leader insisting Rajinikanth's 'spiritual politics'.

Comment came a day after Haasan said that his friendship with Rajinikanth was old and hinted at joining hands with him for politics.

Incidentally, the remarks were made at an event here to mark Haasan's 60 years in the cinema industry.

Rajini and Kamal shared a platform while celebrating Kamal’s 65th birthday and his 60 years in cinema.

The AIADMK had a ready response to Rajini’s remarks, which the leaders interpreted as insulting their CM.

Rajinikanth had said that there was still vacuum in political leadership following deaths of Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa.

While no political leader claimed a vacuum, the remark came only from the actor, he had said.

The BJP once again lost even more badly than in 2014 even while putting up a bigger show at the national level than already.
