Rajinikanth has addressed his relationship with Vijay, who recently entered politics.

"There is no reason for me to be jealous about him. I am happy about him," Rajinikanth told NDTV Movies. The superstar, who himself considered politics before stepping back, said there is no bad blood between them.

When asked about his own political prospects, Rajinikanth said, "I would have won elections if I contested in 2021." He added that he is putting his faith in Vijay instead.

"Many expectations from Vijay. I wish Vijay all good luck from my side," Rajinikanth added. He described the decision as backing the next generation.

Vijay's political entry has drawn attention across Tamil Nadu. Rajinikanth's statement suggests support rather than tension between the two actors.
