Rajinikanth calls for Tamil Nadu political revolution'

Chennai: Rajinikanth on Tuesday called for a “political revolution” in Tamil Nadu. He believes that is the only way to bring about a change in a system he calls “incorrect”. He also went on to define what he meant by “spiritual politics”, a term that has been subjected to various interpretations.

In an informal interaction with media representatives at a hotel here two days after he announced his much-awaited political entry, Rajinikanth was quite cool in “revealing” that he had worked as proof reader in Samyuktha Karnataka, a Kannada newspaper, before he began his career as a bus conductor with the KSRTC. “After I flunked in my 10th standard, my friend who was working in the newspaper helped me get a job there. I had worked as a proof reader,” Rajinikanth said.

“I am a media shy person and my interaction with the media has been very minimal. I have never organised press conferences though I had entertained a few journalists for one-on-one interviews and interactions. I still don’t know how to handle the media and (that is why) I don’t come (on media) quite often,” he said.
