Hyderabad, May 31: Putting an end to the suspense over Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi’s plans to join politics, his aide on Saturday announced that the actor is likely to take the plunge in August this year.

“He will definitely respect the wishes of the people and enter politics. He has a clear and firm view. He himself will announce the decision,” Chiranjeevi’s brother-in-law and noted film producer Allu Aravind told reporters here on Saturday.

Asked why the actor was taking so much time to announce the launch of the much-awaited political party, he said it was justified.

“Politics is too big an issue. And he is taking it up. I think it is reasonable on his part to take some time. I think he is likely to announce the decision in August,” Aravind said.
