Rajinikanth writes letter to Lankan families thanking them for their love

Following cancelling of his trip to Sri Lanka, superstar Rajinikanth has written a letter to Sri Lankan Tamils thanking them for their love, Indian media reported.

The letter featured in India Today read : 'Let good things happen. When time is right we will meet. I pray almighty for your well-being,'

The superstar was in the eye of a political storm after announcing his intention to visit Sri Lanka for the handing over of newly built homes to war-affected families.

According to the report Rajinikanth also said he wanted to meet with Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena in order to discuss a solution to the Indian-Sri Lankan fishermen problem.

His trip, however, ran into opposition as Tamil fringe groups including Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK), forced the superstar to cancel his visit.  

"I will not participate in the event, although I disagree with the reasons stated by Thirumavalavan and Vaiko," Rajinikanth had said at the time of canceling his trip.
