Tamil superstar Rajinikanth has extended his wishes to actor Kamal Haasan for announcing his political debut. "I wish him all the best," said the 67-year-old.
Haasan, on Tuesday, announced that he will undertake a state-wide tour of Tamil Nadu from February 21 and will also announce the name of his political party and its ideology at the beginning of his journey.
He further announced that the tour will be undertaken in multiple phases.
On this tour, which will be flagged off from his hometown of Ramanathapuram, the Dasavatharam actor will be proceeding to the districts of Madurai, Dindigul and Sivagangai, where he will be interacting with locals.
On a related note, Haasan, earlier in September, had said he would be willing to work with Rajinikanth, if the superstar decided to enter politics.
Earlier in the day, actor R. Madhavan also extended his support to Kamal Haasan for his entry in politics. He, however, had said he is not interested in taking the political plunge. "I am not politically inclined. I am an actor and it is my job. I will continue to do good in whatever form I can. I don't need endorsement to do good for the society and I am very clear about it."
Asked about the political debut of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, Madhavan said, "They are starting now... I feel whatever is better for the state and country, they are most welcome. If your intention is to serve people, then it's good... I am happy they have taken this step."
