Rajinikanth has stridden the Tamil cine world like a colossus for the past four decades and enjoys almost a demigod-like status among his legion of followers. The possibility of his entry into politics has been debated for about two decades, but has revived now in view of a perceived political vacuum in Tamil Nadu after the demise of late chief minister J Jayalalithaa.

Earlier, the actor had said that the "system is rotten" despite the presence of "efficient" leaders like DMK's MK Stalin and PMK's Anbumani Ramadoss.

Addressing his fans in May for a similar photo-op, Rajinikanth had said, "Let us face the war when it comes" which was seen as an indication that he might enter politics.
