Superstar Rajinikanth is busy shooting for his gangster flick Kabali, directed by Pa. Ranjith. Meanwhile, his name has been dragged into some serious political controversy over the past few days. We hear that a leading Kannada producer has plans to approach Rajinikanth to start in his biopic on the great king Tipu Sultan. However, this has not gone well with few political parties as they claim that Tipu Sultan was anti-Hindu and anti-Tamil and therefore Rajinikanth should not be a part of this film. Apart from political parties, many other organisations have also expressed their dismay over the issue.
