In what could be seen as a veiled jibe at Superstar Rajinikanth for his remarks that name and fame alone would not suffice for success in politics, thespian Kamal Haasan on Monday took to the social media to air his views. In a tweet that was seemingly directed at Rajinikanth, Kamal said, "First they ignore you then they laugh at you then they fight you and then you win- Gandhi ji His words impart strength we need now." He was apparently reacting to Rajini's remarks at the Sivaji Ganesan memorial unveiling event on Sunday that name and fame alone would not suffice for political success.
