Rajini Makkal Mandram was previously considered a launch vehicle for Rajinikanth's political entry. However, last December, the actor said he would not join politics.
The jury unanimously recommended that the superstar be conferred with the award and the govt accepted, said Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar.
In a statement posted on his Twitter handle, Rajinikanth appealed to his fans to not organise events seeking him to enter politics and make him more sad.

Rajinikanth was hospitalised Friday for severe blood pressure fluctuation. The hospital said doctors will evaluate him Sunday afternoon and take a decision on his discharge.
After making the announcement, Tamilaruvi Manian, Rajinikanth's political advisor, also said that their party's politics will be 'spiritual' and won't 'slam anybody'.

Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
