Actor-politician Kamal Haasan on Friday wished a swift recovery to megastar Rajinikanth, who was admitted to hospital in Hyderabad over "severe fluctuations" in his blood pressure. "Wishes for Rajinikanth's speedy recovery," Mr Haasan tweeted in Tamil.

Actor-politician Kamal Haasan on Tuesday said he was willing to work with fellow superstar Rajinikanth - who is widely expected to make his electoral debut in next year's Tamil Nadu Assembly election - providing their political ideologies are in sync

Actor-politician Rajinikanth's post on Saturday backing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for ''Janata Curfew'' has been taken down by Twitter, reportedly on complaints of misinformation.

Superstar Rajinikanth, who earlier this month supported the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act, has slammed the central government for violence in parts of Delhi in which 27 people have lost their lives. The actor-politician said the clashes were result of "intelligence failure".

Tamil Nadu's opposition DMK has advised actor-politician Rajinikanth to rethink his comment on Tamil icon Periyar Ramasamy, which has generated huge controversy. Rajinikanth has refused to apologise for his comment, which has been seen by many as denigrating the 19th Century social activist, who is considered the father of the "Dravidian movement".

Actor-politician Kamal Haasan today said that his party Makkal Needhi Maiam chief will not contest rural local body elections in Tamil Nadu. His contemporary Rajinikanth will not support any party for the elections.

Actor-politician Rajinikanth whose praise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Amit Shah earlier this week continues to draw criticism, has come up with a new description of the two leaders. "Master strategists" was his new label - meant to explain his earlier tag of "Krishna-Arjun".

Actor-politician Rajinikanth on Sunday congratulated Union Home Minister Amit Shah for the government's move to end the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcating the state. He also hailed him and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as "Krishna and Arjuna".

Rahul Gandhi should stay and "prove he can do it", actor-politician Rajinikanth said on Tuesday, reacting to the Congress chief's decision to quit the post over the party's dismal national election performance.

Scores of fans and followers led by top south Indian actors Rajinikanth and Mohan Babu paid tributes to actor-turned-politician Ambareesh Sunday. The veteran actor died at a private hospital in Bengaluru on Saturday due to cardiac arrest. He was 66.

Karnataka woke up to the news of losing its "Mandya Man", actor-politician Ambareesh who died late last night at a Bengaluru hospital. A man of many names and a strong voice, a "friend" to many including Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and superstar Rajinikanth.

Actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth's response to whether the BJP is such a "dangerous party" that certain political parties are working towards forming an anti-BJP alliance had left reporters confused. "They are thinking so... so it must be so," the 67-year-old actor-politician had said.
