Reacting over the reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir act and abolishment of the Article 370 and 35A, actor turned politician Rajinikanth congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday.

Rajinikanth also called duo like Lord Krishna and Arjuna. In his speech at a book release function in Chennai, Thalaiva said heartfelt congratulations to Prime Minister and Home Minister for Mission Kashmir.

"Hats off to the duo," Rajinikanth said.

Even some Opposition groups like AAP, BSP, YSRCongress, TRS, TDP and BJD had supported the bill to split Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh and to make them union territories.

Central's move was backed by Tamil Nadu's ruling party AIADMK in the house, while DMK and another actor turned politician Kamal Haasan, who floated his party Makkal Needhi Maiam or MNM last year before assembly polls, criticised the move.
