Now, Thol Thirumalavan the founder of the Viduthalai Siruthaigal Katchi a prominent party in Tamil Nadu politics has opposed the initiative and urged Rajinikanth to stay away from it.

In a Press statement Thirumavalavan has said that Subaskaran the Chairman of Lyca Group and also the producer of Superstar's upcoming mega budget sci-fi flick '2.0' is allegedly close to the erstwhile Sri Lankan President Mahinta Rajapakse who has been accused of severe human rights violations and war crimes against Tamil.

He has raised the doubt that such an event to hand over houses for the Tamil people will give a wrong projection to the world countries that rehabilitation for the Tamils displaced by the war is happening at a rapid speed in Sri Lanka. He further noted that such an initiative may be used as a worldwide promotion for their upcoming film '2.0' which according to him should not be allowed.

Siting these arguments, Thirumavalavan has urged Rajinikanth to boycott the event organised by Gnanam Foundation.
