Rajinikanth made the announcement after his meeting with RMM functionaries on Monday, whom he met to decide the future of the outfit.

After his return from America a few days back, Rajinikanth told reporters: “Should the Makkal Mandram be continued and if so, what will be its functions and these are questions among the functionaries and fans.”

“There are also questions as to whether or not I am going to come to politics in the future," he said.

On 3 December, 2020, Rajinikanth said he would launch his party in January 2021 ahead of the Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu. However, during the last week of December last year, he did a u-turn and announced that he would not join politics.

RMM was considered a launch vehicle for the actor’s political entry.

However, the actor announced that he would not join politics as he cited factors like his health condition and him undergoing a kidney transplant in 2016.

Since then, several RMM functionaries have left RMM and joined other political parties.
