Rajinikanth Urges Youth To Shun Risky Fan Stunts And Substance Use

The plea follows recent rally tragedies that put fan safety under sharper scrutiny.

Overview

  • Rajinikanth, speaking to reporters at Chennai airport on Wednesday, asked young people to think long term and prioritise their safety.
  • He warned that fans who chase convoys or try dangerous stunts will suffer the injuries themselves, not the stars they follow.
  • He urged youth to avoid drugs and alcohol, saying addiction ruins the user’s life and harms their parents and family.
  • His comments referenced recent incidents, including a Karur crowd crush that killed 41 people and a Thanjavur collision that injured five followers of actor‑politician Vijay.
  • He kept industry talk brief, declining to comment on Vijay’s delayed film Jana Nayagan, noting mixed reports on whether Jailer 2 has wrapped or has about 20% left to shoot, and pointing to a planned collaboration with Kamal Haasan.
