The Kabali actor is on the radar of the lawyer turned politician since the latter dropped strong hints of taking the political plunge. Earlier, Swamy had questioned Rajinikanth’s credentials as a “Tamizhan”, saying his political debut would “spell disaster”.
“He has no future in politics. A new generation of very educated Tamilians who are assertive, influential now want national politics to come to Tamil Nadu. He is unsuitable for becoming the chief minister of Tamil Nadu,” Swamy had said.
Last month, Swamy alleging that Rajinikanth has committed financial fraud.
Speaking to India Today, Swamy advised the south Indian actor against joining politics while claiming to have “substantial proof” of financial irregularities that would ‘knock down’ Rajinikanth’s political ambitions. Swamy also termed the talks of Rajinikanth joining politics as a ‘media hype’.
