In view of mounting pressure from fans, Tamil Superstar Rajnikanth has declared that he is keeping an open mind regarding joining politics and was only waiting for inspiration from the Almighty for the right moment

In an hour-long interaction with his fans at his Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam in Chennai, the star told the cheering crowd: “No body can force or compel me to enter politics. If there is a God’s will, no one can prevent me from entering politics. I will plunge into it”.

Rajni added: “No one wins in politics due to intelligence or talent; it happens only due to favorable circumstances.”

Rajinikanth said he is fully aware of the sentiments and high expectations of his beloved fans. Right now he is busy with shooting for Enthiran. Once it is over, he is prepared to sit with his fans for a discussion on entering politics.

The star told them if he wished he could have entered politics at the peak of his popularity in 1996. But, he decided to support the fight put up by late G K Moopanar with DMK against AIADMK.

In political circles Monday’s meeting is being viewed against the backdrop of the debacle of his last movie, Kuselan. Rajinikanth, many feel, is enthusing his fans for the success of his next movie.

At the same time, others feel, the star with such a strong fan base, cannot afford to ignore their long pending aspiration. A sizeable number of youths, frustrated over the domination by the two Dravidian parties, have started rallying behind the political parties started by actors Vijaykanth and R Sarath Kumar.

It is up to Rajnikanth to seize the moment or lose it forever.
