At a meeting in Chennai on Monday, Rajnikanth's fans were waiting eagerly to hear his decision that he, their 'Thalaivar', had decided to take the plunge into politics - expectation and excitement among them is very high about whether or not he will enter politics.

The actor, who had faced some heat from his fans for his ambiguous stand on politics, sent out mixed signals still another time, saying that he was "yet to acquire the skill to guide others," but he also quickly added that "if God tells me tomorrow, I will."

In fact, Rajnikanth's 'imminent' entry into politics has been the longest running show in the Tamil political arena, and it has never been clear if the Superstar meant 'yes' even when he said 'no'.

Rajnikanth has maintained that since any such decision would mean a lot of responsibility on him, it should be taken after thorough consideration. He also said that his faith in God has always been the guiding force for all his decisions.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Rajni's restless fans expressed their opinion about the star's impending decision. Some say: "Our wish is to see him in politics - as early as possible. He will definitely come." Yet others opine: "He will come to politics. He is a down to earth person. He will do a lot of good to us."
