"I will form my own political party and contest from all 234 seats in the next Assembly election," he announced in the fans meet organised at Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam in T Nagar, Chennai.

The actor lamented about the state of politics in Tamil Nadu by saying, “In the past one year, events in TN politics have made people of Tamil Nadu hang their head in shame. At this time if I don't take this decision, it is not fair to the people who made me live. The guilt would have followed me to the grave. We have to change, we have to change everything fast.”

Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth are contemporaries on screen and now in politics too.
