Pressure from Tamil Nadu politicos: Rajinikanth

“I am not a politician but an artiste. My job is to entertain people, as leader Thirumavalavan said. I am looking forward to meet the Sri Lankan Tamil people in the future and want to witness the places where the last phases of the war happened. I request that this should not be made a political issue in the future,” the actor said in a statement issued in Chennai.

Tamil Nadu politicians claimed that the Gnanam Foundation, a charity organisation of Lyca Productions, that is currently producing Rajanikanth’s upcoming film also has business ties with the Sri Lankan Government.
