Rajinikanth's brother on Vijay's political success

Sathyanarayana has been actively monitoring the political situation in Tamil Nadu. In 2024, during his visit to the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai, he spoke to the reporters about actor Vijay's political journey. He said, "Let him try, just as Kamal Haasan did. Everyone has the right to enter politics. But Vijay's entry will bring no real benefits. He has little chance of achieving success in politics."He further remarked, "Vijay has a strong desire for politics, which is why he has entered the field. However, what he intends to achieve is unclear. We'll have to wait and see his actions over time. But, in my opinion, it's tough for him to succeed in Tamil Nadu."In 2020, amid rumours of establishing his political party, Rajinikanth visited his elder brother in Bengaluru to seek blessings. Back then, Rao told PTI, “He (Rajinikanth) has ''gurukripa'' (grace of the guru). He (Rajinikanth) is a man of his word. He definitely does what he says. He always keeps his word."
