Seems like, genex superstars are not having good times in politics like the yesteryear superstars MGR and NTR who had floated own political outfits and became Chief Ministers in their respective states. Mega Star Chiranjeevi tried to emulate NTR by launching Praja Rajyam Party but left without a trace. For few months he enjoyed the fruits of power by becoming the Union Minister after merging his Praja Rajyam with the Congress.
The situation is no different in Tamil Nadu. Super Star Rajinikanth who enjoys tremendous fan following across the world, announced his political entry and is contemplating the party launch. However it is coming out that fans are already deserting him as they are unhappy with their favorite star.
It is known that sometime back Rajini announced to reveal his party name on April 14, celebrating Tamil New Year. But the superstar has postponed the event. What’s more, he announced the sacking of Dindigul district president Thamuraju from the post. Fans turned furious on Rajini's decision and more than 146 fans submitted their resignations from Rajini Mandram.
At the same time Lokanayakudu Kamal Haasan's Makkal Needi Maiyam too is not showing any impact. Upendra too launched a party in Karnataka but he came out of his own party and announced that he will start his new outfit. Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena too is searching for opportunities. Analysts feel that Jana Sena except for winning few seats cannot make any powerful impact or come to power.
