Chennai, Jan 17 (IBNS): Giving rise to speculation of a star alliance in the political field, superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan shared stage at a film launch in Chennai on Wednesday.
On being asked about an alliance, Rajnikanth told media that only time will tell this.
Haasan, who had announced his plans to undergo a state-wide tour across various districts of Tamil Nadu to understand the grievances of people, has confirmed that he will declare the name of his political party on February 21.
Haasan has also said that his party's mission statement will also be made public on the same day.
In a statement released at midnight Tuesday, Haasan said, "I have immense gratitude to the people of Tamil Nadu who have given me everything! However, "gratitude" by itself is not adequate, and the love and affection I have for them needs to be manifested in action & in deed."
Haasan said there is true power in finding one's purpose in life.
He said that his mission is to challenge the status quo that has been plaguing the politics of Tamil Nadu for some time now.
Not lagging behind and promising to bring a change, southern superstar and icon Rajinikanth in Dec last year announced that he will enter politics and float his own political party.
Rajinikanth promised his fans that he will strive to bring changes in the system.
Rajinikanth had said he was not entering politics to seek power and announced his party will contest in 234 constituencies in the coming Assembly elections in 2021.
The actor was quoted as saying: "I will start a political party before State Assembly Elections. Till then, I request fans not to speak about politics, speak ill of any political party."
