Filmmaker Ameer Sunday urged superstar Rajinikanth to join politics as his fans want him to become chief minister.

Ameer was one of the chief guests invited for the audio launch of K.S. Ravi Kumar-directed Tamil actioner "Lingaa" Sunday.

"Rajini sir should enter politics. His fans want him to become chief minister. We all believe he will join politics soon," Ameer told reporters here.

Ameer had originally registered the title "Lingaa" for a film with actor Dhanush. He gave up the title for Rajinikanth.

Ravi Kumar also said that he wants to see Rajinikanth join politics, but he said the decision lies with him and that he shouldn't be forced.
