Superstar Rajinikanth has been dragged to the Court many times, mostly by petitioners intending to gain publicity. Many petitions filed against the actor in Courts have had little to do with the much loved star.

Now a Metropolitan Court in Bengaluru has sent a notice to the Superstar based on a petition filed by a social activist I.M.S.Manivannan. The petitioner has alleged that thousands of liters milk is being wasted by showering them on the cutouts of Rajinikanth, every year.

Generally ardent fans of the Superstar celebrate the release of his films his birthdays and wedding day by fixing huge cutouts and performing the pal abhishekam as a mark of devotion. This has been objected by Manivannan in his petition stating that many families in India are starving to get milk for their children as the protein rich product is an essential food for children.

Today the Judge has admitted the petition for hearing and he has a sent a notice to Rajinikanth asking him to file his reply about the wastage of milk happening in his name during the above mentioned occasions, every year.

The act of pouring milk on cutouts of stars is purely sentimental and fans of almost all the past, present and future stars across South India resort to this practice to show their excessive affection or their devotion. We wonder why the 'Social Activist' petitioner has targeted Rajinikanth alone? Is it because he is the most popular?
