Tamil film industry has reacted sharply on the regrets expressed by Tamil superstar Rajnikanth. Saratkumar, Satyaraj and Radha Ravi expressed their anger.
While, Bharathiraja and controversy queen Khushboo said that superstar has done for the welfare of film producers.
Rajini at a press meet in connection with honouring of technicians involved in Kuselan, on Saturday, Said
I don’t want to add anything more to the speculation. When I said we have to kick (udaikkanum) those in Karnataka opposing supply of water to Tamil Nadu, I was referring to those who indulged in violence and not everyone in general. Yes, I should have been more specific. I should have clarified this matter on the stage that day itself.
I have been quoted as saying that I have learnt my lesson. Well, life is all about learning.
Director K. Balachander (Kuselan producer) urged members of the film industry to cooperate and stand united, media had reported that Rajini “apologised” and said
Rajini only said that if his words had hurt anyone he regrets having said that (varundugiren). He has nowhere used the word “mannippu” (apology). Please don’t read between the lines.
At a time when Tamil technicians were making a mark in Bollywood and when Tamil cinema was receiving attention from all over the world, there should be no split in the film fraternity.
