According to Sudhakar, incharge, Rajinikanth Fans Welfare Association, ''Everyone is deeply hurt by the sufferings of Tamils in the neighbouring island nation. Hence, we have chosen not to celebrate Rajinikanth's birthday on December 12''.

He had said it would be good if his birthday could be used to leverage public opinion in favour of Sri Lankan Tamils.
