“Ready For Anything”: Rajinikanth’s Take On 2019 General Elections
Actor-politician Rajinikanth has promised to be a part in the 2021 elections, but about 2019, he is keeping his cards close. The decision will be taken once the elections are announced — but “we are ready for anything,” he said.
On the last day of last year, the 67-year-old announced that he would take a plunge into politics. The decision has exhilarated fans, who had been waiting for years for the Thalaiva (boss) to play the hero in a different field.
At the time, Rajinikanth had said his party would contest from all seats in Tamil Nadu in the next assembly elections. The decision to contest the 2019 parliamentary elections will be taken at an appropriate time, he had said.
Nearly five months down the line, his answer is clearer. “The decision for contesting elections in 2019 will be taken at the time when the elections are announced,” Rajinikanth told reporters. “The party is not yet launched, but we are ready for anything”.
There was also an afterthought: “It is too early to talk about any kind of alliance,” he added.
