Rajini’s entrance in the political arena, however, was the natural consequence of more than a two decades-long wait for one of the most elusive political entries in the country. As a prelude to his political launch, Rajini’s fan associations were integrated and converted into ‘Rajini Makkal Mandram’ (RMM) – a loosely structured outfit carved out for the epic political transition.

In his letter, actor Rajinikanth said, “With extreme sadness, I say that I can't enter politics. I alone know the pain I went through while announcing this decision,"
Though sources close to Rajini Makkal Mandram (RMM), the fan club, insists that the official launch will be realised on New Year’s Eve, the uncertainty over the actor’s presence on the occasion continues as he has been advised a week’s rest and “minimal physical activity” after being discharged from the Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad on Sunday.

“The letter doing rounds about my political plans is not mine. But, information about my health condition in the letter is true. As far as my political plans are concerned, a call will be taken after consulting the office-bearers of Rajini Makkal Mandram (RMM),” the actor tweeted today.
