Rajinikanth: I’m not in politics; shocked by Vijay CM talk
Rajinikanth clarifies he’s out of politics and says he’s surprised by rumors about Vijay becoming Tamil Nadu CM, as the new cabinet allocations for Vijay’s government draw attention.
Rajinikanth says he is no longer active in politics and was taken aback by speculation that actor Vijay could become Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. He defended his meeting with Chief Minister MK Stalin, stressing that their friendship transcends politics and that he pushed back on criticism to prevent it from being seen as truth.
In Tamil Nadu, the new cabinet under Vijay is taking shape, with the Chief Minister retaining key portfolios. Reports indicate he will hold Home and Police, signaling a firm grip on security and law and order as the administration begins its work. The list also shows senior leaders assigned major ministries: Sengottaiyan being allocated Finance, Keerthana placed in Industries, and Aadhav Arjuna receiving Public Works. Other portfolios likely include Public Administration, Urban Development, Water Supply, and Women Welfare, along with Health, Education, and Finance, to fill a total of ten ministerial roles.
The developments underscore a pivotal moment for the state, where public chatter has long linked cinema and politics in Tamil Nadu. While Rajinikanth’s comments drew attention to the personal dimension of political leadership, the cabinet allocations mark a concrete start to Vijay’s governance. Observers will watch how the new lineup functions in practice and how the ongoing dialogue between entertainment icons and political actors shapes the state’s political landscape.
