Kamal Haasan's speech at the 75th anniversary of DMK's mouthpiece Murasoli, together with his subsequent tweets, has raised speculations as to whether he has initiated a veiled attack on Rajinikanth.

Speaking at the Murasoli event Kamal stated that he initially thought about sitting in the audience with Rajini but changed his mind and took to the stage as self-respect is more important than self-defense.

Later in the evening, Kamal tweeted in chaste Tamil another cryptic poem which when roughly translated could mean, "Don't hesitate for too long, the seed of revolution is in an individual's mind... Don't run ahead and push me behind and don't lag behind and delay me...Walk with me for the ultimate winner is not me but us.

Is it to be interpreted freely? Or, is Kamal trying to say something in particular?
