SUNNYVALE, CA: Rajinikanth, superstar of Tamil cinema, is basking on the success on his recently released movie Kaala. On December 31, Rajini had announced that he is going to enter politics and converted his welfare association into the Rajini Makkal Mandram. Its North American chapter was inaugurated on May 6 at Washington DC.

On June 10, SFO chapter of the Mandram was kick-started at the Sunnyvale Hindu Temple with the special Light Music Show featuring Saindhavi, Ravi, Hari Ravi, Niranjan Krishna belting Rajnikanth hit numbers. The show was emceed by Vijay TV fame Divya Darshini.

RMMNA, a nonprofit organization registered in USA, has members in USA, Canada and Mexico. This team will work on suggesting the projects on women safety, employment, health and education projects to be executed back home. The team will try to incorporate the American standards and measures in the Indian system, thereby creating an efficient difference, said Suganthi Alagumalai, Secretary, Women wing, RMMNA.

Rajnikanth is working on cleaning the Indian system by implementing American standards and practices and he feels the change is inevitable. The North American team will conceptualize these projects and present to their Indian counterparts, who would be responsible for the implementation.

Since Rajinikanth declared his decision to engage with the people through “spiritual politics” on New Year’s Eve, the Tamil superstar has been quietly revamping the Rajini Makkal Mandram (RMM) all over. It is widely expected that he will field candidates in all the 234 assembly constituencies in the Tamil Nadu elections due in 2021. Clearly, superstar Rajinikanth wants no stumbling blocks in his journey from being an influential opinion-maker to a political challenger in Tamil Nadu.
