Rajinikanth today announced that owing to his poor health, he has decided to not launch his political party. Now, veteran director Bharathirajaa has reacted to the same in a Behindwoods Exclusive.
He said as thus:
Everybody was anticipating when Rajini would come to politics. You have everything - money, fame. You have touched Himalayan heights. I wasn't for you entering politics.
Artists and politics are different fields. I was concerned to know of your hospitalisation after shooting got halted as a few crew members contracted corona. I have gone through the pain with SPB.
Only you know how difficult it is. Body and mind are important. We talked yesterday. I always call you 'Thalaiva'. I asked you whether you have to enter politics. Peace of mind is more important. You are an 'Aanmegavaadhi'. God has given you everything.
As a friend, I love your decision and welcome it. It is very apt. Hats off to you. There are many confusions but you ultimately took the decision.
I thought your fans might get agitated. They were expecting you to start the party. They have travelled with that expectation. But life is more important. It is a good decision. Love you.
There are so many controversies about you being a Kannadiga, Marathi and such. But that day itself you said you don't want the CM post and will keep a Tamilian there.
I pray for you. You are a lovely friend. I welcome your decision. You are important. Your fans are important.*
