FEFSI has reportedly passed a resolution at their General Council Meeting demanding an apology from actor Ajith for his statement and also condemned Super Star Rajinikanth for his support of the said statement. To refresh memories, what statement and how did all this begin? Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Kalaignar Karunanidhi allotted land in Kancheepuram for deserving members of the cine industry and FEFSI organised a felicitation ceremony to show their gratitude to the CM. At the function, Ajith, well-known for his quick, diplomatic messages, made a very sincere request that cinema and politics should not be forcibly co-mingled. The actor also requested the CM to make a public statement that members of the cine industry should not be forced to participate in demonstrations based on political or social issues. While the entire audience appeared in shock, not knowing how to respond to Ajith's sincere request, Super Star Rajinikanth, who was seated beside the CM, stood up and clapped. The rest of the industry followed suit. Ajith then met the Chief Minister at his residence to explain his stand, a courtesy call to clarify his earlier statement. Later, he met the press and thanked Rajinikanth for his support. Subsequently, Ajith was also dragged into an alleged attack by his fans at Stunt master Jaguar Thangam's residence.
