Fans of Rajinikanth have been urging their hero to enter politics for some time now. They even stuck posters and issued statements urging him to take a plunge into politics. They had wanted a meeting with the 'super star' for a long time now. Eventually the D-day arrived on Monday.

Fans gathered right from the morning to meet the matinee idol. At a dais specially erected at the Kalyana Mandapam, Rajinikanth appeared in a black pyjama kurtha and a huge portrait of Swami Babaji adorned the vicinity.

Fans erupted in cheers and applauded when Rajinikanth said, 'I would never leave my fans. I will enter politics if it is the wish of Almighty'.

Urging his fans to take care of their families first, Rajinikanth answered a whole range of questions ranging from politics to his films.

On being referred to as a confused man by the media following his recent speeches and acts, Rajinikanth said, 'If I think what I do is right, I will never hesitate to do it. People may call me a confused man or a selfish human being. Had I not spoken or reacted in such a way under difficult circumstances, our country would have faced much confusion'.

Queried about his apology to Kannadigas in the Hogenakkal issue, a patient Rajinikanth said, 'it is a cinema affair. Whenever they have any issue with Tamilnadu, they first attack cinema theatres that screen Tamil films in Karnataka. Had I stressed that those denying water to Tamilnadu should be beaten up, the issue would have become very serious. When 'Kuselan' got released, it was bound to face troubles. I decided to seek an apology for the safety and betterment of others'.

When fans queried as to what Rajinikanth had done for them so far, he said, ' after I became an actor, I was keen on doing classic kind of movies. You wanted me to fight on screen, I did. You wanted me to sing and dance, I obliged.  You wanted me to combine everything and I am doing it. I think I am blessed to entertain my fans'.

'I am personally doing many welfare things without the knowledge of others. You too should do your bit to society, he urged his fans.

When queried as to why 'Kuselan' bombed at the box office, Rajini said, 'I don't find any mistake of mine as far as 'Kuselan' is concerned. I even wanted to release it on my own. But the film's rights were sold for a hefty sum before I made the move. Where is my mistake in it? And I did not get Rs 25 Crores as my salary for the film.'
