Amid all this Superstar Rajinikanth had been embroiled in a few controversies lately. When asked about the citizenship law, he said that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will not affect any Muslim living in India. "But if it does then I will be the first person to condemn it," he added. Rajini faced severe criticisms from Tamil Nadu people for supporting CAA.

Following the clashes that took place last night, people of Tamil Nadu have become all the more furious and have been continuously demanding that Rajinikanth join the protest. In this context, hashtag '#veedhiku -vanga- rajini' is also trending on Twitter. Some people believe that if Rajini raises his voice against them, it will definitely be heard. Rajinikanth has not responded to the demand yet. But his fans are eagerly waiting for him to comment on the incident.
