CHENNAI: Breaking his silence, actor Rajinikanth on Thursday said he has been advised against entering politics by doctors as he had undergone a kidney transplant and due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The actor said he would announce at the appropriate time whether he would enter politics or not after consulting office bearers of his ‘Mandram’.
The disclosure of his health status, for the first time, is seen as an indication that the actor was seriously rethinking launching a political party.
Rajinikanth said on his Twitter handle that though a statement -that hints that he may reconsider his political entry given his health condition- doing the rounds in social media was not from him, the content related to his health status and doctors advise to him “is all true.”
“Everyone knows that it is not my statement. However, the information in it related to my health status and doctors advise to me is entirely true,” he said.
