In a decisive move to protect the superstar’s completely apolitical stance, the All India Rajinikanth Fans Welfare Association has issued a stern legal warning barring him from using any political party or organization. Rajinikanth‘s name, flag or photos for political gain. This official directive, issued directly at the behest of the Jailer 2 star, comes on the heels of high-profile political references by leaders like former BJP chief K. Annamalai and the actor-director Raghava Lawrence. By enforcing this outright ban, the veteran actor’s official network wants to silence renewed speculation.
The fan association prohibits the use of Rajinikanth’s name and picture
In an official statement, the association said that Rajinikanth’s name and image should not be used by any political party or group. The announcement added that the directive was issued as per Superstar’s instructions and all fan club administrators and members have been informed. The move comes at a time when various public figures have made references to Rajinikanth while discussing politics, renewing speculation about his role in public life.
Rajinikanth had quit politics earlier
A few years ago, Rajinikanth announced his intention to enter politics and start a political party. However, he withdrew from this initiative due to poor health. Since that incident, the seasoned actor has remained busy only with his film career and keeps away from political issues at all times. However, its popularity and importance continue to make it a key player in the state’s political discourse.
The latest political references put the spotlight back on the Superstar
The latest statement comes amid new political developments in the state. Recently, former BJP leader Annamalai mentioned that Rajinikanth once pushed him politically. Actor Raghava Lawrence recalled that he would not have hesitated to join Rajinikanth’s political party when it was announced earlier. Latha Rajinikanth, who is Rajinikanth’s wife, has recently started a new venture, which has also caught people’s attention.
