Chennai : Tamil movie super star Rajnikanth has offered his marriage hall free of cost to the activists of India Against Corruption (IAC) to hold their protest fast for next three days but is not for or against any version of Lokpal law, said an activist.

“Rajnikanth was here for around ten minutes to see what we are doing. He said he is for anti-corruption, but is not in support of any version of anti-corruption law that is now being debated,” Banu Gomes, media coordinator of IAC’s Chennai Chapter.

In a statement issued here Monday, IAC said Rajnikanth has offered his Ragavendra Kalyana Mandapam free of cost for three days Dec 27-29 for IAC to hold their fast protest in support of Hazare.

During Hazare’s 12-day fast in August this year, Rajnikanth had expressed his support for the anti-corruption movement, the IAC statement said.
