Rajni declines to join issue with Tamil stars over apology

KARNATAKA: Film star Rajnikanth today declined to join issue saying he would not like to add anything more to the 'speculation.'

"I don't want to add anything more to the speculation," he said here in an apparent reference to criticism by Tamil film stars taking exception to his 'apology' to mollify pro-Kannada groups which had threatened to disrupt the movie launch yesterday in that state.

He, however, reiterated that his talk of ‘kicking’those in Karnataka against the water project was aimed at persons indulging in violence in the name of protests, and not aimed at Kanndigas as a whole.

In an emotional speech while taking part in a day-long fast here in April by the Tamil film industry demanding the implementation of the water project, Rajnikanth had asked "should we not kick those who are stopping us water?" in an apparent reference to protests against the project by some groups in Karnataka.

"I should have clarified this matter on the stage that day itself," the actor said today at an event held to distribute special incentives to the technicians of Kuchelan here.
