Hindu Makkal Katchi – the pro-Hindutva political party of Tamil Nadu (TN) – has urged superstar Rajinikanth to become the brand ambassador of the state. Kannan, the state organising secretary of HMK says, “Superstar Rajinikanth has got millions of fans globally. Though he was born in Karnataka, Rajini became an iconic figure only through Tamil films.The actor has in the past thrown his weight behind the cause of Sri Lankan Tamils and even the inter-linking of rivers. Hence we request Rajinikanth to come forward and serve the state that has given him so much of name, fame and wealth.”
Meanwhile, sources close to the party inform that soon HMK will be making a representation to the Jayalalithaa government to urge Rajinikanth to become TN’s brand ambassador. Whether he takes up the offer or not, only time will tell.
