Rajinikanth and Dhanush cast votes in Chennai in Lok Sabha elections
Actor Dhanush and Superstar Rajinikanth exercise their franchise in Chennai during the Lok Sabha elections, joining the electoral fervor in Tamil Nadu.
Fearing that his visit to Sri Lanka might earn him the wrath of the Tamil community, Superstar Rajinikanth on Saturday canceled his proposed visit to Sri Lanka.
"VCK chief Thirumavalavan and MDMK chief Vaiko urged me not to visit Sri Lanka and I accepted their request because of cordial relationship," the superstar said after cancelling his visiting plan.
Rajinikanth was supposed to visit Sri Lanka next month to hand over keys of 150 houses built for displaced Tamil families there.

As part of his visit, being organised by Lyca Productions, Rajinikanth was expected to speak at a public meeting and plant tree saplings.
On Friday, a prominent Dalit leader in Tamil Nadu asked him to cancel his visit over concerns that his visit could lead the world to believe that things were back to normal in the island nation.
Meanwhile, a Congress leader from the state supported the decision taken by Rajinikanth and said the super star always takes right decision.
"The decision taken by Rajinikanth is right, he always takes right decisions," S Thirunavukkarasar, a Congress leader from Tamil Nadu, said.
