Superstar Rajinikanth met his fans in public for the first time in 12 years.
The actor said he had no desire to enter politics. “God will decide if politics is in my future."
Rajini said he regrets not being able to meet fans for so long. “I was supposed to meet you all two months ago but had to postpone it to accommodate more fans."

But if he did join politics, he would ensure that there would be no place for those seeking material gain. “Money-minded people will be shunned. So, I warn you now itself to stay away,” he said.

The actor has not been involved in political activity since his support of the DMK-TMC alliance in 1996.
The actor had some advice to give his fans — not to touch alcohol and cigarettes. "Give up drinking and smoking. Even wealthy people in business have lost their empires because of alcohol addiction"
