WATCH! Thalaivar Rajinikanth admits being 'scared to let out a breath' due to 'election time'

The megastar of Kollywood, Rajinikanth fondly called Thalaivar by fans recently marked his presence at the inauguration of a popular hospital’s branch in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

While talking to the media at the venue, the Enthiran star shared that he did not want to speak much as it is election time and he is ‘scared’ to even breathe.

“Earlier, when asked where is Kauvery Hospital, people used to say it is near Kamal Haasan’s house. Now, when asked where is Kamal’s house, people say it is near Kauvery Hospital. Media people too… these are just casual stuff. Don’t write that Rajinikanth was messing with Kamal,” said Rajinikanth.

“I actually didn’t want to speak at all, but I was asked to say a few words. I asked will there be many media houses at the event. They said only a few. Now, looking at all these cameras, I am scared. It is election time as well. I am scared to even let out a breath,” he added.
