Person of Interest: Decoding the Rajinikanth phenomenon

Superstar, larger than life, for his fans Rajinikanth, is unrivalled. Their love for him goes beyond reason and he is capable of evoking a kaleidoscopic range of emotions.

So, when the star himself decided to take time out to meet his supporters and pose with them for photographs, they were more than elated.

The much awaited meeting was happening after eight long years. And when it did, it left the rumour mills buzzing.

This meeting that Rajinikanth had at the Raghavendra Mandapam was very different from the kind of meetings he had had with the fans before because this was the first time Rajinikanth gave a very strong hint about his entry into politics.
