Rajinikanth likely to announce political party in July, says his brother

May 27, 2017 13:04

Actor Rajinikanth's entry into politics is all set to be firmed up by July-end, said his brother Satyanarayana Rao Gaikwad who resides in Bengaluru.

"It is the people's wish that Rajinikanth should enter politics. He has just ended the first round of consultation with his fans and well-wishers who were urging him to take the plunge," said Satyanarayana, insisting the star's political foray was imminent.

Satyanarayana's remarks come in the wake of the actor's address to fans recently. While there was no direct indication of his plans, there were enough innuendos to create a buzz in political circles. The actor said there were good politicians in Tamil Nadu, but the "system was rotten". He urged his fans to help clean up the system and be prepared for "battle".
