Raghava Lawrence signals political entry, seeks public feedback before taking final call
Raghava Lawrence has indicated that he may soon step into politics, inviting opinions from fans and the public before making a final decision on his future course.
In a video message released on social media, the actor-choreographer-filmmaker said he had reached a stage in life where he was seriously considering entering public life on a larger scale. Emphasising that his interest was not driven by power, wealth or personal ambition, he said his primary goal has always been service to society.
He explained that he had shared his thoughts openly in the video, reflecting on his understanding of politics, his experiences in social work and the factors that influenced his evolving views on public service. He urged viewers to watch the message in full and offer their honest feedback.
Lawrence reiterated a principle that he said has guided him throughout his life — carrying out one’s responsibilities without expecting rewards. He used a simple anecdote to illustrate the importance of sincere work and dedication, stressing that genuine effort ultimately earns recognition on its own.
The filmmaker also spoke about his charitable initiatives and recalled a period when he had considered entering politics alongside superstar Rajinikanth. However, he said the idea did not progress after his mother expressed reservations and encouraged him to continue helping people through the philanthropic work he was already undertaking.
