Tamil film actors strike to support Sri Lankan Tamils
Following the one-day token fast observed by Tamil Nadu Film Directors’ Association (TANTIS) and Film Employees’ Federation of South India (FEFSI) on March 19, it is now the turn of the Nadigar Sangam to go on a strike in support of Sri Lankan Tamils.
The actors from the Tamil film industry will go on a token fast on April 2 at the Nadigar Sangam premises. A source in the know says, “The Sri Lankan issue has snowballed into a major talking point after the protests by the college students. The fast called for by the directors’ union received phenomenal response but the absence of actors was sorely felt. Now, with top stars like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan agreeing to be present for this fast, it will only highlight the issue better.”
We hear that film shoots for that day have been cancelled and actors who are presently out of station have also been urged to return to Chennai for the fast. (India Times)

thamil elam need to put in place in TN. this is better for sri lanka
Dear handsome actor.
What are you doing with TN politics?
Tamil Nadu is crowded with politicians. Let them do their profession. Can Tamil Nadu politicians teach the Sri Lanka politicians, and the terrorist groups like LTTE, goon s of TN and BBS?
May be if you are popular in Sri Lanka, there won’t be a need for an Eelam or BBS.

So why we import those TN movies to SL anymore.
If they are like that the we also like that !!!!
All these movie stars should protest against TN government to put a stop to TN fishermen coming to Northern seas of Sri Lanka in thousands of boats each night and robbing the Sri Lankan Tamils of their fishing harvest(depriving their daily living) It is hype of hypocrisy to protest for SL Tamil’s rights while robbing their daily living from the other hand.
This drama is good only for TN not for SL
