In a direct and powerful media interaction at his Poes Garden residence today, Superstar Rajinikanth addressed the wave of misinformation circulating after the 2026 Tamil Nadu Election results. Clarifying his stand on recent political developments, Thalaivar dismissed baseless rumors with his trademark transparency and grit.

Here are the key highlights from the Superstar’s address:

1. Friendship Beyond Politics: The Meet with MK Stalin

Addressing the buzz surrounding his meeting with the DMK chief, Rajinikanth said, "Stalin has been my friend for over 40 years. Our bond is beyond political ideologies. I was deeply saddened by his loss in the Kolathur constituency, and I met him purely as a friend to offer my support. There was no political motive behind it."

2. A Stern Warning to Rumor-Mongers

Thalaivar was particularly sharp when addressing claims that he tried to unite two major parties to block Vijay's path to the CM seat. "The news that I tried to stop Vijay is completely false. Rajinikanth would never stoop so low to do such cheap work," he stated emphatically, putting an end to the malicious propaganda.

3. Hailing CM Vijay’s Historic Victory

Rajinikanth expressed "surprised joy" at the massive victory of Vijay and his party, TVK.

• "To win single-handedly against a national party like the BJP and two established Dravidian giants in the state is a victory bigger than those of MGR or NTR," he remarked.

• He noted that people have high expectations and urged everyone to give Vijay at least 2 years to prove his governance.

4. Advice to Vijay’s Fans and Cadres

Showing his concern as a senior icon, he advised, "Vijay’s fans and party workers must act with extreme responsibility. You must understand that even a small mistake by a cadre will directly affect the leader's reputation."

5. On the "Rivalry" Narrative

Dismissing the idea of a clash, he noted the clear "generation gap" between him and the new Chief Minister. He stated that it is not right for him to view Vijay as a competitor, nor for Vijay to view him as one.

6. "I Am Not in Politics"

Reiterating his long-standing decision, the Superstar requested the media to stop asking him political questions. "I have already made it clear why I did not enter politics. It is not fair to keep questioning me on this." He also reminded everyone that his fans have already been given the freedom to choose their own political path according to their wishes.

Thalaivar’s words today serve as a shield against the negativity aimed at him and a testament to his dignified character. As always, we stand by him!
