Chennai: 'Superstar' Rajinikanth is likely to
meet his fans in the last week of this month, sources close to
the actor said today.
This will be the second such meeting this year after the
interaction in May when the actor dropped some hints of taking
the political plunge.
The sources added plans were afoot to hold the fans
meeting from December 26 to 31.
It is expected to be a photo session like the previous
meeting and could be held at the actor's sprawling Raghavendra
wedding hall here.
The political circle in Tamil Nadu is abuzz with
speculation about the actor making his political entry,
especially after his call earlier this year asking his fans to
"prepare for war", seen as his hint of the political plunge.
At the fans' meeting in May this year, he said, "When
war comes they (professionals) will come to the rescue of
their motherland.. I have a profession, work, duty and so do
you. Go to your places, do your duty, take care of your
vocation.. Let us face the war when it comes."
He had also complained that the "system is rotten" despite
the presence of leaders like DMK's M K Stalin and Anbumani
Ramadoss of PMK.
The veteran star has not made any loaded statements after
that but his contemporary Kamal Haasan has gone ballistic
against the ruling AIADMK on corruption, hinting he might make
the political plunge.
In 1996, Rajinikanth had publicly criticised the then
AIADMK government led by J Jayalalithaa on the law and order
front, and had backed the then DMK-TMC combine, which swept
the polls.
