An issue that is currently hitting the headlines is Superstar Rajinikanth's statement on the late Periyar. At a recent event, Rajni had mentioned a past incident involving Periyar and many political parties in the state too offense and demanded that he issue an apology. However, Rajinikanth categorically refused to apologise and reiterated that he had just mentioned actual events that happened in history and not fabricated something that did not happen. This incident left many people divided with their opinions and there are still many who are raising their voices against the Superstar!
Actor, director and choreographer Raghava Lawrence has time and again revealed that he is a hardcore Rajni fan and has spoken out in his defense on a number of occasions! Now, with Rajinikanth being embroiled in the middle of such a controversy, Lawrence has posted a note in Tamil, weighing in his opinion on the ongoing issue! Raghava Lawrence has stated that he doesn't know politics but knows Rajinikanth well and stated that the Superstar is not a person who would talk ill of anybody, including those who talk badly of him.
Lawrence's statement further quotes an incident that happened in 2006. Lawrence has mentioned that in that year, when director Velu Prabhakaran had made a movie laden with Periyar's teachings and was struggling to release the movie, it was Rajinikanth who came forward and helped the director by giving him a huge sum of money to release the movie. Stating this, Raghava Lawrence has asked people to not misunderstand Rajinikanth and that as a true fan, he knows Rajinikanth's pure heart and that the Superstar has a lot of respect on Periyar.
