Sources say that the actor has been inspired by the Chennai-based Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader S Gurumurthy and is likely to support the BJP.
According to The Indian Express, Rajini’s inner circle has asserted that the BJP may or may not ally with his party, but would definitely lend their support and aim to defeat the DMK.
