'Superstar' Rajnikanth's press meet earlier this week has generated quite a lot of debate among fans, the common folk and political analysts after the veteran actor's decision to not contest for the Chief Minister designation in the upcoming 2021 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections left many surprised. Rajinikanth announced his decision to only be the party leader and not contest as a candidate for the CM position when a majority of the fans were expecting him to reveal the name of his political party in light of next year's TN elections.
