Superstar Rajnikanth had been a guest for the unveiling of K Balachander's statue at Kamal Haasan's Raajkamal Films International office, and later his wife Latha Rajnikanth had met the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Edappadi Palanisamy to discuss on her new organization.

After the meeting with the CM, Superstar Rajnikanth had met the press, during which he was asked regarding the recent meeting with BJP leader Pon Radhakrishnan, and was asked if they had discussed about joining BJP, and Rajnikanth had a reply in his own style.

Rajnikanth said that attempts are being made to give BJP color to him often, and added that just like they tried to paint saffron on Thiruvalluvar recently, they are also trying to paint him saffron, but just like Thiruvalluvar escaped, he will also escape from those who try to paint him saffron.
