Veteran actor Rajinikanth recently attended the inauguration of a popular hospital’s branch in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. While addressing the media personnel present at the venue, the superstar expressed that he did not wish to speak much as it is election time and he is “scared” to even breathe.

Rajinikanth said, “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.”

Rajinikanth added, “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.”
