Superstar Rajinikanth’s fans have been eagerly waiting for the big day about his political debut for the past three years. It is a long wait and Superstar cheered up his fans that the big announcement about his political debut will be made on December 31st and the party would be launched on January 1st 2021. This makes sure that Rajinikanth and his political party would contest in the Tamil Nadu Assembly polls that will commence next year. Rajinikanth recently met the district Secretaries and held discussions but he did not make an announcement.

Rajinikanth took his twitter to make a formal announcement about the date. He received criticism recently as his political debut was delayed by years. Keeping an end to all these, Rajinikanth made it official today. He expressed his confidence in winning the Assembly polls and give corruption-free politics to the state. Rajinikanth hinted that a miracle would soon happen. Rajinikanth enjoys a terrific fan base across the state and lakhs of his fans are ready to follow his footsteps. It is unclear if Rajinikanth will continue doing films or if he takes a long pause for movies after making his political debut.

Superstar Rajinikanth commenced the shoot of his next outing Annaatthe last year and the shoot of the film came to a halt in February this year after the outbreak of coronavirus. The makers wanted to release the film for Diwali initially and the film was later aimed for summer 2021 release. A 40-day long schedule was planned to commence from today in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. Rajinikanth, Nayanthara and Keerthy Suresh are expected to shoot for their portions in a lavish set that is constructed recently.

But the makers called off the shoot considering the spread of coronavirus all over. They are quite concerned about the safety of Rajinikanth who is 69 years old. Their prior plan was to complete the entire shoot by the end of the year. Also, the film needs 200 crew members on the set on regular basis. Considering the spread in Telugu states and Tamil Nadu, Sun Pictures pushed the shoot further. Siva is the director of this emotional family drama. Veteran actresses Meena and Khushbu will be seen in other important roles in Annaatthe.

Superstar Rajinikanth has donated Rs 50 lakh for the wellbeing of daily wage workers of South Indian film industry in the time of complete shutdown owing to the coronavirus pandemic, according to reports. Several other top star of southern cinema including Suriya, Karthi and Vijay Sethupati, besides many filmmakers have pitched in, too.

Given the recent outbreak of COVID-19, theatres across Tamil Nadu have been closed, and shoot of films, television serials and advertisements are on hold as well. The Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI) president RK Selvamani earlierissued an appeal through a press release requesting the South Indian film fraternity to provide financial help to the daily wage members of the federation who don’t have an income right now.

Within a few hours Suriya, Karthi along with their father Sivakumar donated Rs 10 lakh. It was later reported that actor Sivakarthikeyan too donated Rs 10 lakh.

Now, it is said that superstar Rajinikanth has donated 50 lakhs, while Vijay Sethupathi has donated 10 lakhs for the welfare of FEFSI members.

Actors Parthipan and Prakash Raj have provided several rice bags weighing 25 kg each. Ever since RK Selvamani had put a request, Kollywood celebrities are leaving no stone unturned to help FEFSI members in need. In fact, it is these members who worked incredibly hard for the success of their films.

Due to the lockdown, the shooting of Rajinikanth’s ”Annaatthe”, which is directed by Siruthai Siva, has been put on hold. The film was reportedly scheduled to release in Diwali 2020, given the delay in shooting we are unsure if films will stick to their stipulated release dates.

Actor Rajinikanth said violence should not be the route to solve any problem at a time when protests against Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) are being held in different parts of the country.

In a tweet on Thursday late night, Rajinkanth said: “Violence should not be the route to solve any problem. Indian people should be united and alert with security and welfare of the nation in their minds.”

Rajinikanth said the ongoing violence in the country pains him.

However, Rajinikanth, who had said he would plunge into politics and contest in the 2021 assembly elections to be held in Tamil Nadu did not express his views on the CAA against which protests are being held across the country.

Reacting to Rajinikanth’s tweet, Seeman, the founder of NMK party in his tweet asked the former to spell out his views on CAA.

Pointing out Rajinikanth’s tweet, Seeman also added that it is insulting the students who are protesting against CAA braving suppression.
