Controversy Over Rajinikanth’s Comments
Recently, Rajinikanth attended the book launch event of a biography written by Minister A.V. Velu on former Tamil Nadu CM Karunanidhi. His remarks during the event caused a stir. He praised the current CM Stalin for managing the party well after Karunanidhi’s death. Mentioning State Minister Durai Murugan, Rajinikanth playfully remarked on how such senior members are being managed, indirectly poking fun at Durai Murugan. In response, Minister Durai Murugan sharply retorted, indirectly suggesting that senior actors like Rajinikanth are blocking opportunities for the youth by continuing to act despite their age. This exchange of words has sparked significant controversy both in Kollywood and Tamil politics.
