The superstar, when asked about his view on the impact of demonetisation vis-a-vis its second anniversary, told the media that “the implementation was flawed. It is a matter that should be discussed in detail”.
Asked if the BJP was such a ‘dangerous’ (electorally) party that warranted formation of a mega national alliance against it, he said “they (opposition parties) feel that way, then it should be definitely like that”. On the rising incidence of rape and murder of girls in Tamil Nadu, he said tougher laws and stricter implementation was the way out.

The actor has since then, drawn ire on Twitter, leading to the term ‘Rajinikku theriyadhu’ (Rajinikanth doesn’t know) being coined after the video of his press meet went viral.
