Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday said he was not aware of any possible meeting between actor Rajinikanth and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Rajinikanth is a great actor. Modi is a great leader. If he wants to meet the Prime Minister, there is no problem,” Mr. Naidu told reporters in Bengaluru.

Earlier in the day, PTI reported that “unconfirmed reports” were saying that the actor would soon meet Mr. Modi.

Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president Su. Thirunavukkarasar has said that he believes the Tamil Superstar will not join any national or regional political party but will only float his own party.

 

“As a friend who has known him for 35-40 years what I think is he will not join any national or regional party. He will only float a new party,” the TNCC chief said in Chennai on Sunday.
