Superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, contemporaries in Tamil Nadu cinema and now politics, again shared the stage in Chennai and kept hopes alive that they could join hands. Rajinikanth did not rule out the possibility.
“Only time will be able to tell that. Let us see in due course of time,” Rajinikanth said.
Kamal Haasan backed him up on this stand. “Time is a good medicine for everything. I second it,” the actor later said, his response to Rajinikanth’s open-ended remarks.
The superstars, both adored as legends, have been taking baby steps into politics. They have announced their decision to take the political plunge within a space of just a few weeks and both have kept their focus sharply on improving the standard of governance.
Kamal Haasan has long been critical of the ruling AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu and had embarrassed the government with a brief campaign against corruption in the state.
Rajinikanth, 67, has been more circumspect in speaking about his would-be rivals in the state’s politics but packed in a sucker punch at AIADMK last month when he announced his decision to launch a political party.
