Rajinikanth and I should consider a tie-up: Kamal Haasan

Chennai: Kamal Haasan, who is all set to foray into politics soon, on Thursday said he and superstar Rajinikanth needed to contemplate if it was necessary for them to join hands and face the election.

Asked for his response, Rajinikanth, who announced his political entry on December 31last year, told the media that only time will tell if he will join hands with Haasan during their political journey.

“I (have) already told you.Only time will answer all these questions,” Rajinikanth said.

To a question on facing the next Lok Sabha polls, Rajinikanth said he will take a decision at the “appropriate time”.

In his weekly column in Tamil magazine ‘Ananda Vikatan,’ Haasan said both of them were being asked repeatedly if they would face the polls together and added that he endorsed the view of Rajinikanth in this respect.

“Rajini sir, to this question had said that only time will give an answer and I had seconded that view. Truly, only time will answer,” he said.

Haasan, who is set to unveil his political party’s name and go on a political tour on February 21, said both of them should first formally launch their respective political parties.

“Hence, it is not a decision that can be taken now... Also, both of us need to ponder if that is necessary,” he said.
