Last year, at the peak of suspense around his first electoral plunge, he announced that he will stay away from politics citing health reasons. His decision ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections disappointed scores of fans who later took to the street with slogans like Vaa Thalaiva Vaa (Come Leader Come) asking him to usher in a new era in Tamil Nadu politics.
While the fans kept pressing Rajinikanth to rethink his decision, he requested them to not join agitations any further. He asked them not to pressurize him and “not pain me again and again”.
