Rajinikanth backs out from launching political party citing health issues

Actor Rajinikanth has backed out from launching a political party citing health issues. He apologised for not launching the party in a three-page statement he posted on Twitter. This comes two days after he was discharged following hospitalisation for severe blood pressure fluctuations. "I see this health complication (hospitalisation) as a warning given to me by God," Rajinikanth said.
