Modi visits Rajinikanth -Will Personal meet help BJP score much Success in Lok Sabha polls? 

This isn't a Rajinikanth joke. The BJP's prime ministerial candidate has a meeting lined up with the superstar of the south on Sunday during his campaign in Tamil Nadu ahead of the fifth phase of voting.

Narendra Modi, who is scheduled to address a public rally in Chennai on Sunday, is expected to meet the actor earlier in the evening on arrival from Hubli either in the airport lounge or at Rajnikanth's residence at Poes Garden.

The encounter could impact the fortunes of the BJP-led NDA alliance in Tamil Nadu. Though a senior BJP functionary described the meeting as a "courtesy call", the photo-op may seem an endorsement to legions of Rajinikanth fans--the intersection between cinema and politics in the state goes a long way back.

Before the 2004 election, Rajnikanth had issued a statement in support of AIADMK and BJP, which was probably the only occasion when the normally reticent and politically non-committal actor spoke up.

A couple of years ago, at an annual function organized by Tughlak magazine editor Cho Ramaswamy, Modi and Rajnikanth had exchanged pleasantries, BJP sources recalled adding, "That was of course a time when Modi was nowhere near being named as our PM candidate." And then, just prior to the Trichy rally addressed by Modi last September, state BJP chief Pon Radhakrishnan had let it be known at a press conference that he had sent feelers to Rajnikanth to attend the event. The actor did not reciprocate though.

For BJP, which has reached out to various sections in the south, a Rajnikanth smile of approval now may provide an incremental advantage to its alliance which has, for the first time, several regional outfits including DMDK, PMK, MDMK, IJK and KNDK on board.
