The so-called regrets by Rajini may prove to be disastrous for him.
While Tamil people will have no objection to him apologizing to Kannada people for any misunderstanding in general, what will anger all Tamilnadu people is his praise of Kannada extremists like Vatal Nagaraj & Narayana who are responsible for the attacks on innocent people during Cauvery problem & recent Hogennekal problem.
He might be earning few more crores of money by doing this, but he either lost or will be losing the hearts of crores of Tamilnadu people, including me.
If Tamilnadu people have any self-respect, KUCHELAN will be the biggest failure in his career.
Is this the beginning of the downfall of the phenomenon called - Rajini...?
There could be two reasons for his comments: 1) He has completely lost his mental balance (or)misjudged the fall-out of his comments will have on the psyche of Tamil people 2) He has made up his mind to shift from chennai to Bangalore.
