Is Sandalwood superstar Upendra set to float a political party of his own? The buzz has gained ground ever since the actor released a message yesterday, which had this exalted sentence: “The need of the hour is not Rajakiya (politics), but Prajakiya (democracy)".

He has also debunked the use of caste and money power in politics.

Upendra seems to be out to raise inconvenient questions in politics, much like what Pawan Kalyan claims to do so. On the face of it, he has a long way to go before he can dream of making a mark in politics, especially because there is not much time left for him to build his party before the 2018 elections in Karnataka.

The actor's wife, Priyanka, has been quoted saying that she will support her husband's political avatar.
