Superstar Rajnikanth whose Darbar directed by AR Murugadoss and co-starring Nayanthara is running successfully, had recently been to the 50th anniversary function of Tughlaq magazine, and the actor's statements during the event had evoked controversy and negative response.

While his views on Murasoli magazine of the DMK party was opposed by the DMK followers, Rajnikanth had reportedly made a statement on Periyar, and opposing this, Dravida Kazhagam had filed a police complaint against the actor, and now the BJP state leader H Raja has made a statement on this incident.

H Raja has said that the Dravida Kazhagam has been trying to threaten Rajnikanth saying that he has made a wrong statement, and besides they have also given a complaint on him with false charges, and that Rajnikanth will not fear for such threats and blackmails. Rajnikanth is next acting in Thalaivar 168 directed by Siva.
