Tamil superstar Rajinikanth recently addressed questions about why he did not publicly wish Vijay on his birthday. The actor spoke about the issue during the grand launch event of his upcoming film Dharman.

For the past few days, many social media users had been discussing Rajinikanth’s silence on Vijay’s birthday. Several political leaders, film stars, and celebrities publicly shared birthday wishes when Vijay celebrated his 52nd birthday on June 22. However, Rajinikanth did not post any public message, which led to speculation among fans and online users.

At the Dharman launch event, reporters asked Rajinikanth about the matter. The veteran actor responded calmly and clarified that he had already spoken to Vijay privately. He explained that not every conversation or greeting needs to be shared publicly. His short response put an end to many rumors surrounding the issue.

During the event, Rajinikanth also spoke about the criticism he often receives. He said that people sometimes question him when he speaks and also question him when he remains silent. Without mentioning any specific controversy, he reflected on how public figures are constantly judged for their actions and opinions.

The event was also special because it marked the official launch of Dharman, Rajinikanth’s next big film. The movie is being directed by Ashwath Marimuthu and produced by Kamal Haasan under the banner of Raaj Kamal Films International.

According to the makers, Rajinikanth will play the role of a powerful and dangerous doctor in the film. The cast includes Simran and Raashi Khanna in important roles. The music will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

The announcement has created huge excitement among fans. With a strong team and an interesting storyline, Dharman is already one of the most awaited Tamil films. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth’s clarification about Vijay has helped clear misunderstandings and showed that the two leaders continue to share mutual respect despite public speculation.
