Amid heightened speculations that Tamil superstar Rajnikanth would join politics, the actor on Thursday refused to entertain questions on his decision.

“If I decide to enter politics , I will inform you,” he told reporters. He also dismissed as “their personal opinion” declarations by politicians and pro-Tamil groups – after meeting him – that he would definitely join politics. “Whatever they said might be their personal opinion. But if I join politics, I shall inform you,” he said.

Speaking amidst his fans recently, Rajini fuelled speculations of an imminent plunge into politics, as he urged his fans to “be ready” for “war” (elections).

“We will face it when the war comes. Then you have to show the mettle. Till then let us be patient,” the actor said and kept his fans guessing without making it clear whether he was talking about elections.

Asserting that he is “a true Tamilian”, Rajini said if people threw him out of Tamil Nadu, he will not fall in any other state but in the Himalayas.
