New Delhi: TDP chief and prime mover of the Third Front N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday virtually invited Tamil superstar Rajinikant to join the proposed political formation but the actor remained non-committal.
"He is most welcome. I have great regard for him. I will be the first person to welcome him if he is agreeable (to join the Third Front)," Naidu said when asked whether he would invite the star to join the Front.
The TDP chief interacted with the media after watching the preview of the much-awaited Rajinikanth-starrer Sivaji-The Boss at Imax theatre in Hyderabad. "He (Naidu) is a politician and I am an artiste. We are good friends," Rajnikant said.
He recalled his long association with Naidu and said "I know him for several years and he is a very good friend of mine."
Apart from movies, Rajinikanth left his mark in politics in the 1996 Assembly Elections in Tamilnadu. The actor supported the DMK - TMC coalition and helped them to defeat the ruling AIADMK party.
Naidu was all praise for the southern superstar, who has a massive following in Andhra Pradesh, and said he thoroughly enjoyed watching the film, which is being released across the state on Friday.
