Nainar Nagenthran condemns Aadhav Arjuna’s remarks against Rajinikanth

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth, on Tuesday (March 17, 2026), condemned the remarks of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) general secretary (election campaign management) Aadhav Arjuna, who recently claimed that the actor refrained from entering politics due to a threat from the DMK. “Time won’t speak, but it waits and gives its answer,” Mr. Rajinikanth said.

During a protest organised by the TVK in Chennai on March 12, Mr. Arjuna claimed: “The DMK family threatened Mr. Rajinikanth and ensured that he did not enter politics.”

In a statement, Mr. Rajinikanth said the remarks by Mr. Arjuna were not true. The actor also thanked political leaders who voiced their support for him, including AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami, Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L. Murugan, Tamil Nadu Minister for Natural Resources S. Regupathy, and Tamil Nadu BJP president Nainar Nagenthran.
