Super Star Rajinikanth has dissolved his political outfit Rajini Makkal Mandram, and said he has no plans of joining politics.The announcement came after Rajinikanth's meeting with members of the RMM, and quashed the speculation surrounding his political entry.
RMM was previously considered a launch vehicle for the actor's political entry. However, last December the actor said he would not join politics and had cited factors like his health condition, him undergoing kidney transplant in 2016.
The actor, who returned from America days ago after a health check-up told reporters: "Should the Makkal Mandram be continued and if so, what will be its functions and these are questions among the functionaries and fans.
"There are also questions as to whether or not I am going to come to politics in future," Rajinikanth said, adding he would consult Mandram functionaries and then spell out the outcome of the deliberations.
On 3 December, 2020, the actor had said that he would launch his party in January 2021 ahead of the Assembly elections. However, during the last week of December last year, he did a u-turn and announced that he would not join politics.
Since then, several functionaries had joined political parties including the DMK.
