Superstar Rajnikanth had earlier today revealed in a press interaction that he will not be apologizing for his statements on Periyar, and that he did not speak anything wrong. The actor had quoted reports in Outlook and said that he had spoken about incidents that happened in 1971.

Following the statement of Rajnikanth, social media had been filled with hashtags in support of and against the actor, and actress and poltician Kushbu who is now acting in Thalaivar 168, tweeted "it’s ur democratic right to show ur dissent if you think @rajinikanth Sir is wrong. I appreciate that he is taking a stand.I am not to judge what he said is right or wrong. It’s important to speak without fear n he is dong it. One cannot be #politicallyCorrect to be in good books".

After this tweet of Kushbu, many netizens tweeted that Kushbhu is supporting Rajni as she's acting in his next movie, and in reply, the actress tweeted "Ada loosu pasanga..#Rajini sir kuda yerkanave nadichu mudichettenda..yennakku idhu pudhusa ille..yenda mutthaalnna prove pannuringe??". Kushbhu had worked with Rajnikanth already in Mannan, Annamalai.
