Reportedly superstar rajinikanth, who is aiming a political entry in tamilnadu anytime soon, refused to share his thoughts on the recent incidents of violence where police entered the campuses of Jamia Millia Islamia university and Aligarh Muslim university during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. Meanwhile the actor was in mumbai on monday for the trailer release of his upcoming movie Darbar. He was seated on a dais with AR murugadoss, the director of darbar and actor suniel shetty and others, rajinikanth was answering questions from the media.
Immediately a reporter asked rajinikanth his thoughts about the police attacking students of Jamia Millia Islamia university and Aligarh Muslim University. When responding to her, rajinikanth, who announced his political entry on december 31, 2017, conjured the most cliched response to the question. “This is a cinema function. I don’t want to mix politics and cinema,” he said. However as the reporter continued to insist for a response from the actor by stating that his voice is influential and what he says matters to everyone, rajinikanth said, “I express my views in different platform.”
Moreover those who follow his movies will know that most of them have references to his political entry and how he would be the darling of the masses and will follow the path of righteousness. Perhaps any of his movies, invariably, have a political commentary too. Ironically, rajinikanth plays a policeman who calls himself a ‘bad cop’ in darbar, but he chose to dodge a question on the raging issue of the day, especially concerned with the actions of the police force against the students.
