I am not a fan of Rajni. I have seen only one or two movies of Rajni. But I have great respect for the guy. He is a great Indian, A maratha, born and brought up in Karnataka rose to fame in Tamilnadu. A self made man, his life story itself can be good theme for movies. I agree with Girish that we have to see these things from Rajni's perspective. He cannot and shoudl not take any strong stand about such controversial topics. But on a different level, we people of India should become less racial and become tolerant of other states,lanaguages and people. Only then our Bharath can be Mahan!
