He had said he had no desire to join politics, but if he did, he would show the door to all "money-minded" people.

"When I say this, people are asking whether no other person is there", he said, adding there were good politicians like M.K. Stalin (DMK Working President), who is an able administrator and if given a free hand, he would perform well.

The fans of Rajnikanth also believes that this year Thalaivar's birthday will be more special as their superstar will make the announcement whether he would dive into the pool of politics or not.

He added that the state of democracy has deteriorated. With your love and support, you made me a Tamilian. While the actor has refused comment, on Wednesday, BJP national secretary H Raja called him a "popular" personality who is "welcome to join" the party.

Seeman, leader of Naam Thamizhar party, said that while he respected Rajinikanth as an actor who had taken to Tamil cinema having come from outside but the state does not need an "outsider" as Chief Minister.

The anticipation among his fans in Tamil Nadu is also justified by the frail health of Amma's 92-year-old arch rival M Karunanidhi of the DMK.

In the succeeding political developments, he backed the DMK-TMC (Tamil Maanila Congress, led by the late G K Moopanar) combine, which also cashed in on the severe anti-incumbency against the ruling AIADMK.

Rajinikanth's entry into politics has been at the centre of much speculation and chatter for years now. My ancestors including my father are from Tamil Nadu.

They might need him... though I've seen the stadium security personnel... you don't wanna mess with majority , either. He yelled toward the mound, prompting Motte to throw up his arms as if he didn't know what the problem was.

The actor was possibly reacting to Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy's remarks dubbing him as a "disaster" in Tamil Nadu politics.

Actually, he repeated the same statement that he had uttered on the first day of fans meet but this time with more conviction and promise. However, he was on good terms with Jayalalithaa in the recent past and had even rued he had "hurt" her back in 1996 by being critical of her.

"I didn't expect my comments about how one should be in politics to create such a big news and debates".

"We will see when the battle comes".

"My name has been dragged into politics for the past two decades. If I have to live anywhere in this world that will be in Tamil Nadu", he said.

Incidentally, in his film "Muthu" (1995), he mouthed lyrics in a song saying "why should I launch a party now, (but) its only time will tell that".

During the event, Rajinikanth further said, "Both "support" and "oppose" is a part of the system".
