If Rajinikanth enters politics he will do only good for people: wife Latha

Chennai: Will superstar Rajinikanth make his debut into politics? The question has turned into one of the most discussed issues in the nation today.

While his actor friend Kamal Haasan has already announced his political entry, Rajinikanth has hinted of the plunge but is yet to officially reveal a clear stand.

At an event on Tuesday, Latha Rajinikanth, wife of Rajinikanth, said that he will do only well for the people if he enters politics.

Talking to media, she went on to add, “Only he can say when he is ready to make his political entry. But if he enters politics, he will do only good for the people”.

She further added, "We will stand with him as a family."

Famously called as "Thalaivar" or "Ultimate Boss" by his fans, Rajinikanth, who is still guarding his political bent and decision to plunge into politics close to his chest, on Sunday used the dais at the opening of late actor Sivaji Ganesan’s memorial on the banks of the Adyar in Chennai to talk about politics and Kamal. The latter was also sharing the platform with him.

Earlier, Rajinikath had hinted that he may take a plunge in politics and also said the prospects of his actions were under discussion and he will announce once it is finalised.

Previously, in May, the actor had urged his fans to "prepare for war" possibly implying that he may join politics.

He had said, "When a war comes, they 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."

The famed actor had also said that even though he had no particular intention of getting into politics, he would consider taking the path if that was "God's will". He claimed that if he did enter the political world, he would be truthful and not host people who merely want to make money.
