WILL NOT ALLY WITH ‘SAFFRON’ RAJINI: HAASAN

CAMBRIDGE: Actor Kamal Haasan said that a tie-up with Tamil movie star Rajinikanth seems unlikely as of now as the latter has a “hue of saffron” in his politics, suggesting that the veteran actor is inclined towards the BJP.

“There is a hue of saffron in Rajini’s politics. If that doesn’t change, then I don’t see an alliance with him,” Haasan said at the launch of his website, naalainamadhe.maiam.com, at Harvard University on Saturday.

Haasan, who recently forayed into politics and is set to launch his party on February 21, said he and Rajinikanth are good friends, but “politics is different”.

Rajinikanth announced his entry in Tamil Nadu politics in December. The state is due to go to polls in 2021.
