Actor and political hopeful Rajinikanth is finally preparing to become an actor turned politician as he has unveiled a major announcement of his political entry and nears to lower the curtains of his political drama of suspense that his fans and members of his outfit have been witnessing for several years. 

In what has become a major announcement, the superstar has announced that he will launch his political party in January 2021 and he will make the official announcement on December 31. Rajinikanth took to Twitter on Thursday amid strong expectations and speculations and revealed that he is ready for spiritual politics and a miracle will happen in the upcoming assembly polls. 

In his statement that he released on Twitter, Rajinikanth said, "With great support from people, an honest, righteous, transparent, corruption-free, casteless, secular, and spiritual politics will be formed in Tamil Nadu in the upcoming assembly elections for sure. Wonder...Miracle...will happen!!!". His announcement of entering politics has come as a huge relief for his fans and the members of Rajini Makkal Mandram as they have been waiting and demanding the superstar to enter politics. 

Through his announcement of launching a political party, Rajinikanth has confirmed that he would be contesting in the upcoming assembly polls and his announcement has come when the state is only five months away from the elections. By bringing the long wait to an end, Rajinikanth's politics will be starting a fresh political race in the state and the superstar will be meeting the decades-long Dravidian parties as the fellow contenders in the race for reign. 

The announcement from the superstar has come three years after he told his fans that he will enter politics. He had announced his political entry on New Year's eve in 2017 following which he stirred speculations on when he will be launching his political party. While his fans and members of Rajini Makkal Mandram, which would likely become his political party, had strongly expected his political entry, they only counted the days as the actor hadn't signaled when he would enter politics. 

The members of the outfit have been enhancing and strengthening the base of the mandram and they had held campaigns and poster politics to gain wider attention across the state. However, Rajinikanth kept suspense as his answer to the questions of when he would enter politics. Earlier March this year, Rajinikanth said that he would enter politics only after the birth of the revolution in the state and he won't be the CM candidate rather he would name a perfect person who is working for the welfare of the people to the post. He concluded the meeting with suspense and the fans and members were pushed to wait longer. 

Recently, it was speculated that the 71-year-old actor is considering not to enter politics owing to his health conditions and owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and the reports said that the actor told his close circles that he is preferring to stay away from active politics. Earlier this Monday, Rajinikanth had met with the functionaries of his outfit and reviewed the situation, and discussed about the pros and cons of launching the party. He met with the district secretaries of the outfit and they demanded him to enter politics ahead of the assembly polls. 

He had asked the functionaries to strengthened the outfit at a grass root level and he instructed them to carry out the efforts to enhance the base by asserting to them that he would announce his final decision as soon as possible. He told the reporters that the members had agreed to oblige by his decision and reiterated that he would unveil his final decision of political entry as soon as possible. It was speculated that he has decided to launch the political party. 

Days after his assertion, Rajinikanth has on Thursday made the major announcement confirming his political entry which had relished his fans and members as he brought the suspense and long time to an end. He would be launching the political party by January 2021 and he will be making the official announcement by Dec 31st. The fans are eagerly waiting to know the party name and his strategies to take on the Dravidian politics as the superstar is ready to unfold what he calls spiritual politics.
