Did Kamal Haasan get Rajinikanth’s image removed?

‘Bigg Boss 3’ (Tamil) hosted by Kamal Haasan has been aired on Vijay TV since Sunday.  As usual, the seasoned performer connected well with his warmth.  The sixteen contestants were introduced and this time there is much more variety, as there is a balance between well known and little known celebrities.

A controversy has been raised as a painting of Superstar Rajinikanth in his ‘Petta’ avatar was noticed by the press when they were invited to the house a week earlier. However, when the show was aired, the Rajini image was missing while Kamal’s image in the ‘Virumandi’ get-up was displayed prominently. Speculations have started that Kamal insisted that Vijay TV removes Rajini’s image.  

Netizens are fighting on social media with Rajini’s fans criticizing Kamal while the Universal Star’s fans are claiming that their idol has the Thalaivar photo prominently displayed in his house itself and he wouldn’t have asked to remove it on sets.

Other views are that the Rajini image had him smoking and that’s why it was removed by the creative team.  But then, smoking is allowed inside the house!
