As superstar Rajinikanth exits politics even before entering, we look at number of flip-flops and u-turns in Thalaiva's "will he, won't he" political thriller.
The big decision that sent his fans in a frenzy came in 2017 when Rajni announced his plans to launch a political party.
He also announced that his party will contest on all seats in the 2021 Assembly elections.
The superstar promised to usher in "spiritual politics" in Tamil Nadu.
But health concerns stalled his plans. In December 2020, just months before the polls, Rajini announced his exit from politics before even entering it.
And now he has also dissolved his supposed political launch vehicle as well... drawing curtains on the political act that never was.
