BJP warns Rajinikanth against playing Tipu Sultan

Chennai: The BJP and other political parties have warned Rajnikanth against accepting the proposal to act in the proposed film on Tipu Sulatan. BJP has called Tipu Sultan "anti- Tamil" and thus Rajini should not take up the project. In an interview, BJP national secretary H Raja said that Tipu Sultan was a murderer and thus making a film that glorifies him would be a distortion of history. However, a spokesperson said that Rajinikanth did not even have the time to look at the script and has not agreed to do the project.
