Megastar Rajinikanth, who has been hinting at a political
debut, has extended support to the team of controversial movie "Mersal" for
addressing an "important topic".
"Mersal", Tamil actor Vijay's Diwali
release, is amidst controversy after the Tamil Nadu unit of the Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) demanded removal of specific dialogues which take a dig at the Goods
and Services Tax (GST) and digital India.
"Important topic addressed...
Well done!!! Congratulations team 'Mersal'," Rajinikanth tweeted late Sunday.
Politicians, including Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and DMK leader
M.K. Stalin, apart from actor Kamal Haasan have slammed the BJP's attempt to
muzzle criticism regarding its policies.
Earlier this week, BJP National
Secretary H. Raja even raked up actor Vijay's Christian origins.
"Joseph
Vijay's hatred for Modi is 'Mersal'," he wrote, adding a communal flavour to the
row.
Directed by Atlee, "Mersal" stars Vijay in the roles of a village
head, a doctor and a magician. It is doing brisk business at the box office.
