Actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth, who was recently discharged from the Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad, has announced that he won't be entering into electoral politics citing health reasons. "I regret to inform that I am not going to launch a political party," the top actor said. Rajinikanth had earlier announced his plans to launch his political party in January next year ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly polls. However, days ahead of the launch of his party, the actor had to cancel the plans owing to his health condition. Rajinikanth's political advisor, Tamilaruvi Manian, had earlier said that their political party, which will be launched in January next year, will fight on all 234 seats in the next Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu.
