Would Tamil Nadu had given Rajnikant the same fame, respect if he had stayed in Tamil Nadu and acted in non Tamil films only?
On the other hand, look that the fame and respect that Maharashtra has given to Amitabh inspite of his having done nothing for the state which has played a significant role in making him what he is. As Amitabh had himself said once, if he had not made it to the film industry, he would have been selling milk in Allahabad.

Dear bharat please have an attitude in tune with your name.in india we have people of different linguistis/religious group settling in another state and they have contributed and prospered there. During the maratha rule large no.of marathis came and settled in tamilnadu known as 'raoji's' and they are well respected and part and parcel of the tamil community.many gujarati's known as surashtra's have settled in madurai for ages and some of the famous tamil figures hail from that community. do you know that there is an tamil iyengar settlement in remote west- bengal village called 'BERO' and they are as much part of west bengal as any other bengali. to create differences among indians when we are so closely interlinked is criminal and anti national. Amithabh Bachan is a true representative of our national spirit-father -U.P,mother punjabi,wife-bengali,daughter-in-law-from karnatak. can u find a better image of a true indian spirit? we should celeberate and encourage people to migrate and intermingle and intermarry as veer savarkar(a maharashtian)had said.
