AIADMK MPs are and worried about the massive crowd at superstar Rajinikanth's maiden political speech yesterday.

At least 25 to 30 Lok Sabha AIADMK MPs were heard talking about Rajini's entry into politics and whether it would make a dent in their respective parliamentary constituencies. These MPs speculate that at least 50,000 AIADMK voters per parliamentary constituency in Tamil Nadu would move to the Rajinikanth camp.

A senior AIADMK leader feared that this was the first and last time that they would be elected to the Lok Sabha. AIADMK MPs who missed watching Rajinikanth's speech on TV watched it on their phones.

The boss has indeed arrived.
