Months
after
announcing
his
decision
of
staying
away
from
politics
citing
health
reasons,
Rajinikanth
has
today
(July
12)
confirmed
that
he
has
dissolved
his
political
outfit
Rajini
Makkal
Mandram.
Also
adding
that
he
has
no
plans
of
joining
politics
in
the
future,
the
superstar
during
his
recent
meeting
with
members
of
RMM
said
that
the
outfit
will
now
function
for
his
fans
as
a
charity
forum.
As
quoted
by
The
News
Minute,
Rajinikanth
in
his
statement
said,
"I
had
thought
of
starting
a
political
party
and
getting
involved
in
politics.
But
the
timing
was
such
that
it
was
not
possible.
I
have
no
intention
of
getting
involved
in
politics
in
the
future,
so
I
kindly
inform
you
that
the
Rajini
Makkal
Mandram
will
function
as
a
fan
charity
forum
for
the
benefit
of
the
people."
Reportedly,
Rajinikanth's
outfit
will
now
be
named
Rasigar
Narpani
Mandram
or
the
Rajinikanth's
Fans
Welfare
Forum.
Earlier
during
his
media
interaction,
the
actor
said
he
will
be
discussing
whether
he
should
enter
politics
or
not.
He
further
revealed
that
he
could
not
meet
functionaries
earlier
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
Tamil
Nadu
Assembly
Elections,
shoot
of
his
next
Annaatthe
and
a
medical
examination
in
the
US.
Let
us
tell
you
that
Rajinikanth
was
supposed
to
enter
politics
this
year.
However,
the
actor
re-considered
the
decision
after
he
was
hospitalized
owing
to
blood
pressure
fluctuations
during
the
shoot
of
his
upcoming
film
Annaatthe
in
Hyderabad.
During
his
announcement,
the
actor
promised
his
evidently
disappointed
fans
that
he
will
serve
the
people
without
entering
politics.
On
the
work
front,
Thalaiva
will
soon
start
dubbing
for
Annaatthe
in
Hyderabad.
Directed
by
Shiva
and
backed
by
Sun
Pictures,
the
film
has
music
composed
by
Viswasam
fame
Imman
and
camera
cranked
by
Vetri.
The
film
is
currently
slated
to
release
on
November
4
coinciding
with
Diwali.
Annaatthe's
other
