Thalaivar recently tweeted about the ongoing theatre strike against the 30 per cent entertainment tax levied on Tamil films, requesting the government to consider the industry's plea in the matter. The tweet was shared by his long time friend and another veteran actor, Kamal Haasan, who thanked him and said, “Lets request as gentlemen should and then we shall see.” The move is seen as a clear indication that Haasan wants to team up with Rajini and others to protest against he ridiculous 58 per cent tax levied on Tamil films, in case their request is not accepted.
This is the first time Kamal reacted to Rajini's words on social media, especially endorsing it. It is heartening to note the two icons of Tamil cinema coming together in the democratic social media to safeguard the welfare of the film industry.
