Though the protest at the time was reasonable the speach was too inflammatory and meaningless except that of Kamalahasan. Rajini must have realized it right away but could not issue regrets because it would have been interpreted differently. He did the right thing by issuing apology now. This shows he is a person without ego. Also why should he suffer when the ruling class did not bother to confront Karnataka?

Hi magesh.. i disagree on ur post. He shouldn't have scolded kannadians at the time of the protest. When a man has good repute, why he behaved badly that time? and what is the need for him to scold them? and why he's apologizing now when at the time of his film release? If he's a real non-egoist character means. He should have asked this apology earlier.. Every human has an evil and selfish instinct. Rajini is after all a human being.

I didn't say Rajini is God. He over-reacted then and he expressed his regrets now. He is definitely a better human being than many others.

Why didnt your superstar issue a apoloy or regret after fe months ago ,rather than issuing when we kannadigas prtested to release his movie in Karnataka?

That is the question i have to ask Super Star. Kannadigas do not deserve to see his film. He did not have to appologise. Rather he could have simply returned the money to those producers/distributors. After all, all those kannadigas who do not have one good director or good actor in their midst will only buy pirated CDs of his new film and watch. they cannot wait to see good tamil and Hindi movies. May be they will even catch bus and train to go to Hosur to watch the movie. :))

I would comment this as a cowardice act by Tamil Superstar, if he wanted to make a standpoint on his comments, why did not he made it when he was asked to do so? Has the scenario in Hogenakal changed now? Have the activists nodded yes to Hogenakal water project?
He showcased himself as Tamilian for fame and now showcasing himself as Kannadigan for money, what role next? Much awaited.

These Sathyaraj and Sarath kumar are jealous of Rajnikanth... Rajnikanth won't even care what they say... He would be preparing for his Himalayan trip by now...
