On Rajnikant fourth day of his meet that he gave a statement that led to a guess that he is saying his time is over and now there is a replacement for him.

He said, Whenever I come to Coimbatore airport two incidents come to my mind. Annamalai was a super-duper hit. At that time I had come to attend a marriage of my family friend. Sivaji sir (Sivaji Ganeshan) and I travelled together and landed at the airport. There was a huge crowd gathered outside cheering my name, but I was embarrassed and became uncomfortable because a legend was next to me.

(Sivaji Ganeshan) was smiling and told me: 'This is your time of glory. Work hard and do good movies. We had given good movies in our times. Now it is your turn'.

After some years I was supposed to go to the same airport when I got a message asking me to avoid coming now as another actor would be in Coimbatore. The crowd was unimaginably high. I was told: 'Let him come and go, after which you can come.' At that moment Sivaji sir's words struck my mind... Now the same time has come for someone else. Time will change everything, be it in cinema or politics.

While he didn't mention any actor's name but there is no denying the fact that Vijay is one of the biggest draws in Tamil cinema. In fact, the very same reason led many to believe that he is indirectly referring to Vijay.
