I am not joining any political party : Rajnikath
"I am not joining any political party," he said while addressing his fans after eight years at Chennai's Raghavendra Mandapam, Kodambakkam.
The actor made it clear that even if he takes a plunge in politics in future, he won't join a political party.
Talking about film and politics, Rajnikanth said, "I had an accidental brush with politics 20 years ago. Since then many people have been using my name to gain in their political career. People have been speculating for years about me joining politics. But I had made it cleat back then only. I have never made any such announcement since then about joining politics. Nobody has my backing and I don't support anyone."
The actor's statement came at a time when the BJP has been reportedly wooing him to join the party, specially after the death of J Jayalalithaa.
"Some people have wanted to become MLAs and politicans and have been using me to make money. God willing, if I ever decide to join politics I will do it for the welfare of people and not to make money. As of now, god wants me to become an actor, and I am happy with that," Rajnikanth added.
Talking about his films, Rajinikanth admitted that his movies like Kochadaiiyaan and Lingaa failed at the box office, but Kabali did well. The Endhiran star felt that a film will only work if it has good content.
Rajnikanth urged the the youth to refrain from smoking and drinking.
