Mani Shankar Aiyar doesn't think Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan can become great politicians

Suspended Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar today said that he doesn't think Tamil superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan can become great politicians.

Speaking at the India Today Conclave South 2018, Aiyar said that everybody has welcomed the idea of Rajinikanth entering politics because "he is a good guy and we need good guys" but "to expect good guys to become Prime Minister is like expecting Mani Shankar Aiyar to become the Prime Minister which won't happen".

The suspended Congress leader said that MGR and Jayalalithaa were successful because they were connected with the Dravidian movement and used cinema to leverage their political philosophy.
