Rajinikanth took to Twitter to share in Tamil, "In the forthcoming Assembly elections, with the support of the people, it is certain that honest, monetary, transparent, non-corrupt, secular and secular spiritual politics will emerge victorious in Tamil Nadu."

This was after he had given a hint about a 'decision', that he took in consultation with his fans.

"I met the office-bearers. They expressed their views to me & I exchanged mine with them. Whatever decision you take we are with you my fans have said. I will make my decision as soon as possible", the 2.0 star said on Monday.

Rajinikanth's previous major announcement had also come on a December 31, three years ago, when he had confirmed that he will be joining politics, but then made no move towards formally establishing a party and contesting elections.

Fellow Tamil superstar, co-star of numerous films, and both mentored by K Balachander, Kamal Haasan had launched his party months after Rajinikanth's announcement. Not only did he launch the party Makkal Needhi Maiam, but contested the 2019 elections unsuccesfully.

The elections are scheduled to be held around April-May 2021 in Tamil Nadu.

Rajinikanth on the professional front

On the film front, Rajinikanth featured in Darbar earlier this year. The film had been directed by AR Murugadoss and also starred Nayanthra, Suniel Shetty and Prateik Babbar.

He has announced another film Annaatthe, that is set to be directed by Siva. It is unclear if the film will be impacted by the political venture.
