“The BJP seems to have done it on their social media pages. They haven’t said that all Thiruvalluvar statues should be saffronised. But, why should this be such a big controversy? People have so many problems and so many needs. This controversy is just silly,” he said.

The actor also rejected the idea of his yet-to-be launched party contesting the local body elections.

Mr. Rajinikanth also urged people to exercise caution if and when the Ayodhya verdict is delivered by the Supreme Court.
