Last Sunday during a meet with Rajinikanth has stated that if he enters politics then he will be very truthful and will not entertain people who are in this to make money.

However, his statement hasn't gone well with a section of the audience including a few politicians as well.

The new member who slammed Rajinikanth for his remarks is none other than Markandey Katju, former Chairman, Press Council of India and former Judge, Supreme Court of India.

On Thursday morning, Markandey Katju took to Facebook to slam Rajinikanth. He went on to say like Rajinikanth's friend and legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, he has nothing in his head.

"Rajnikanth, I have high opinion of South Indians, but I just cannot understand their stupid deification and idolization of filmstars. I remember when I was in Annamalai University ( 1967-68 ) I once went with some Tamilian friends to see a movie starring Shivaji Ganesan. At the very beginning of that movie the feet of Shivaji Ganesan were shown ( and only the feet ) and the audience went hysterical. Now it seems many south Indians are crazy about Rajinikanth, and some even want him to enter politics and be the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu.

But what is there in Rajinikanth ? Has he any solutions to the massive problems of poverty, unemployment, malnourishment, lack of healthcare, farmers distress, etc ? I think he has none. Then why do people want him in politics ? Like Amitabh Bachchan, Rajnikanth has nothing in his head."

Meanwhile, a large section of Tamilians have already started attacking Markandey Katju on his Facebook page for his remarks on Rajinikanth.
