Superstar Rajnikanth today came out in support of actor Ajith who has caused a stir in the Tamil film industry by his remarks that actors were being forced to take a stand on sensitive political issues. The two met Chief Minister M Karunanidhi separately.
Ajith had taken the Tamil film industry by surprise when he made the candid remarks in the presence of Karunanidhi and almost the entire Kollywood at a function in Chennai on February 6.
He had rued politics creeping into Tamil cinema, prompting Karunanidhi himself to assuage his feelings saying Tamil cinema was a family and they should all be united.
