Now Anna Hazare’s ‘three-day Jail Bharo Andolan’ has the backing of none other than Tamil superstar Rajinikanth who has given his marriage hall free of cost to Indian Against Corruption activists to launch the protest from Tuesday.
Raghavendra Kalyana Mantapam, which will be the venue of of Anna Hazare’s India Against Corruption (IAC) crusaders in Chennai, had the blessings of Rajinikanth who okayed it personally, said Rajinikanth’s daughter Aishwarya Dhanush.
However, she did not comment to a query whether the superstar will be present during the three-day protest fast in Chennai starting from Tuesday. “I won’t be able to comment on that,” she told Express on Monday.
“I am very happy that Raghavanedra Kalayana Mantapam will the venue of anti-corruption movement in Chennai. It is a good cause. Anyone who does any kind of good, we will back them,” said Aishwarya, whose film, ‘3’, has been making headlines due to the ‘Kolaveri’ song.
IAC activists said the venue was confirmed on Monday after Latha Rajnikanth agreed to give the kalyana mantapam to anti-corruption crusaders to launch their fast from 9am.
“Someone with the stature of Rajinikanth backing the movement will boost the anti-corruption movement. He has a great fan base and this will create a larger awareness in the state,” says central core committee member of IAC, M S Chandramohan
Interestingly, it was during the blockbuster Padayappa’s silver jubilee week celebrations, the superstar announced that after him all the earnings from the Raghavendra Kalyana Mantapam will stop coming to the family, instead go to a public trust, where it will be used for charity.
