KAMAL HAASAN HAILS RAJINIKANTH - “SHABASH RAJINI! WELCOME TO THIS ROUTE - IT'S NOT A…”

The actor told reporters, "All protests that are happening in Delhi are because of intelligence failure. I condemn it. When a leader like (US President Donald) Trump is in the country, the intelligence (officials) should have been more vigilant. They didn’t do their job properly. At least now I expect them to be vigilant and the violence should be dealt with an iron fist. If it is the intelligence failure, then it is also the Home Ministry's failure. I strongly condemn the people and the political parties that use religion for electoral gains.”

Hours later, his colleague and Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan congratulated him for his statements. Taking a cue from Rajinikanth’s famous punch line from Padayappa- “En vazhi, thani vazhi,” he tweeted, "Shabash Rajini. Welcome to this route - it's not a separate route but the path trodden by an entire community. Welcome and Congrats."

சபாஷ் நண்பர் @rajinikanth அவர்களே, அப்படி வாங்க.

இந்த வழி நல்ல வழி.

தனி வழி அல்ல, ஒரு இனமே நடக்கும் ராஜ பாட்டை.

வருக, வாழ்த்துக்கள்.
