“Rajini-Kamal should learn to be mature like Simbu” – Veteran Actor

Simbu’s request to Karnataka people to show solidarity to Tamils by providing a glass of water has been received with appreciation in both states.  Veteran Kannada actor Anant Nag has appreciated the ‘Chekka Chivantha Vaanam’ hero while at the same time taking pot shots at his contemporaries Rajini and Kamal.

Anant Nag has stated “We expected Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan to have a different approach and attitude towards Karnataka and Cauvery. But they have failed us by toeing the same old line of typical Tamil Nadu politicians. The political goons of Tamil Nadu are playing politics with Cauvery. Sadly, Rajini and Kamal are also following the same line. I have nothing against Tamil people. They are nice people and close to Kannadigas. Stars like Rajini and Kamal should not behave like the rest of the lot. We have some expectations from their politics.”

He adds “Our state Karnataka is going to elect a new government in a month. The political atmosphere is surcharged here. The Centre is in a fix. There are no immediate elections in Tamil Nadu. Can’t these stars wait till the elections get over? Why are they adding fuel to fire? Young Tamil actor Simbu has made a sensible comment on the Cauvery issue saying that Karnataka will release whatever water it can to Tamil Nadu. I am shocked that Rajini and Kamal don’t have the maturity that this young actor Simbu has,”
