Chennai, Dec 26 (IBNS) :  Keeping his fans still in a suspense, superstar Rajinikanth on Tuesday said he will announce his decision on entering politics on the last day of the year, media reports said.

"I am not new to politics. I got delayed. I don't say I am entering politics. I will announce my stand on entering politics on December 31," the actor said while  addressing his fans beginning a six-day interaction with them in Chennai.

"I am hesitant to enter politics since I know the difficulties," Rajnikanth said.

But he adds :"If one goes to war, they should win it. Here the war is elections and I'm strategising my victory that if I go war, I'll win. Politics is not easy as I've seen the depth, pros and cons of it. I'm not new to politics, but I'm just delaying my entry",

Rajinikanth also paid tribute to the late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, whose death in December last year has left a vacuum in Tamil Nadu politics.

"I was humbled when Jayalalithaa met me at my house," Rajnikanth said.
