Are Rajini’s films funded by LTTE?

The Sri Lankan Resettlement and Disaster Relief Services Minister Abdul Risath Bathiyutheen has stirred the hornet’s nest by alleging that most of the Tamil films inducing Rajini starrers have been funded by the LTTE. He was quoted as having said to the www.asiantribune.com: “Millions and millions of US dollars were given to a London-based Tamilian. He was asked to produce Tamil films in Chennai with top stars like Rajinikanth.”

However, Rajini’s office declined to comment on the issue. When Hansraj Saxena, COO, Sun Films, was asked about this, he said that connecting Endhiran to this allegation would be the “biggest joke of the year.”
