Rajinikanth cancels visit to Sri Lanka

March 25, 2017 15:12

Superstar Rajinikanth has cancelled his proposed visit to Sri Lanka.

The actor was to travel to Sri Lanka on April 9 to start a Rs 22 crore housing project by the Gnanam Foundation which is a charitable organisation in the northern regions hit by the 26-year-old civil war that came to end in 2009.

His visit was opposed by the group Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi.

VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan said, ""I have no personal agenda against Rajinikanth. We are good friends. But, I strongly oppose his decision to visit Sri Lanka and participate in an event organized by Lyca, which has business ties with the Sri Lankan government."

"Artists should only entertain people. We, on behalf of our party 'Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi' request Rajnikanth not to earn Tamil people's hatred by participating in this event."
