LEGENDARY DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT ON RAJINIKANTH'S POLITICAL ENTRY: "APPOINTING A TAMILIAN TO RULE THE TAMILS"

I'm very well aware of how great a human(e) being Rajinikanth is and how he has manifested through our friendship of more than four decades, much better than the exceedingly celebrated humble hearted - great man - great artist, and of course that magical mantra 'Superstar' by the people.

He wholeheartedly welcomes the schemes that would be prove to be benevolent to the Tamil society.

The truth what Rajini stands for, that a Tamilian should rule the Tamils, the most capable race to rule, to adorn the crown, sets him miles apart of the greedy lot.

His principles set firmly on the welfare of Tamil and Tamil people sets itself far ahead of the contemporary thinking of the political class, which may even prove to be a seed to the thought process of Tamil fraternity as of today.

I see Rajinikanth as a humane being who wants to turn the first page of his political career by appointing a Tamilian to rule the Tamils, besides the fact that he is a great friend of mine.
