After Kamal Haasan, Superstar Rajinikanth extends support for jallikattu

Superstar Rajinikanth on Friday extended his support for jallikattu, the popular and ancient bull-taming sport, played usually around Pongal festival in Tamil Nadu. He said it must be held as it is part of Tamil culture.

Last year, the Supreme Court banned jallikattu, earning the wrath of its supporters and well-wishers.

Speaking at Vikatan Film Awards, Rajinikanth said, “Bring in whatever rules but jallikattu must be held to keep up the traditions of our Tamil culture.”

It must be noted that Rajinikanth’s friend and actor Kamal Haasan made a strong statement at India Today Conclave South 2017. Speaking at the event, he said, “If you want a ban on jallikattu, ban biriyani too.”
