Public figures like superstar Rajinikanth have some limitations because of the charisma he earned and the political pressures that make him submit in spite of not wanting to do so. This talk might look something out of the context if it is not mentioned.
Submitting to the pressure from political outfits which are against Rajinikanth’s scheduled visit to Sri Lanka, the superstar cancelled his visit though he felt it was not appropriate to cancel his visit and can’t entirely accept the reasons of those opposing him for the visit. In his statement, Rajni mentioned the names of Tamil political outfits’ leaders who called him and advised him against his visit to Sri Lanka.
For the uninitiated, Rajnikanth was scheduled to go Jaffna to attend the inaugural function of an event when 150 free houses will be given to Sri Lankan Tamilians which were built by Gnanam Foundation of Lyca Productions. This was seen as a ploy by Sri Lankan government to send positive signals to the world about their concern for the Tamilians on the island and hence the opposition.
