Rajinikanth's statement about the possibilities of his entry into politics has been the hot topic and several politicians, celebrities have been voicing their opinions on this issue.
O. Panneerselvam, popularly known as OPS, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu took to Twitter to register his opinion on this. He tweeted, "ரஜினி அரசியலுக்கு வந்தால் அஇஅதிமுக எனும் ஆலமரத்திற்கு எந்த பாதிப்பும் இல்லை. அரசியலுக்கு வந்தால்தான் களத்தில் இருக்கும் பிரச்னை தெரியும்.. நடிகர் ரஜினிகாந்த் அரசியலுக்கு வரலாம், அவர் நல்ல மனிதர்; யார் தலைவராக வேண்டும் என்பதை மக்கள் தான் முடிவெடுப்பார்கள்".
This tweet is roughly translated as, "Even if Rajini comes to politics, there won't be any impact to AIADMK. Only when he comes to politics, he would understand the ground reality problems. Rajinikanth can come to politics, he is a good man. But, only common people would decide about who should become the leader."
