Rajinikanth vs Jayalalithaa: The Untold Roadside Incident That Sparked His Opposition

In the early 1990s, during Jayalalithaa's tenure as Chief Minister, a lesser-known incident took place that fueled Rajinikanth's opposition to her. While traveling on Dr. Radhakrishnan Road, Rajini's car was stopped by police, who informed him that they had to wait for the Chief Minister’s convoy. When told it would take half an hour, Rajini, ever the iconoclast, calmly got out, bought cigarettes from a nearby shop, and casually stood there, drawing a crowd.

As the crowd gathered, the police, concerned about the chaos, quickly urged him to leave for safety reasons. This moment marked a turning point in Rajini's political stance, leading him to support the DMK alliance in subsequent elections, directly opposing Jayalalithaa. Fans are now revisiting this bold act, which has since become a legendary chapter in Rajini's career.
