more-inActor Rajinikanth on Wednesday thanked Sri Lankan Tamils for their love and affection, days after he cancelled his visit to the island nation following opposition from pro-Tamil outfits. Originally on April 9, Mr. Rajinikanth was scheduled to hand over 150 new houses built in Jaffna for Tamils by Gnanam Foundation of Lyca Group, a Tamil film production house. Following the cancellation of the actor’s visit, the Tamils in Jaffna had taken out a rally in his support. Expressing optimism, Mr. Rajinikanth said he will meet them (Sri Lankan Tamils) when the time is right. He said that Mr. Rajinikanth can meet the Tamils any day in Sri Lanka but only after the situation of its various regions affected by the 2009 war improves.
