Rajinikanth has started facing the heat after announcing his entry into politics. The Tamil superstar, who left for the Himalayas Saturday, March 10, refused to comment on two incidents due to which he came under attack on social media sites.

The 67-year-old was spotted at the airport Saturday morning. According to reports, reporters at the airport were looking for his response to the death of a pregnant woman in Trichy and the brutal murder of a student in Chennai. The superstar, however, was not keen to respond to the issues.

Rajinikanth was later slammed by a section of social media users and called "irresponsible and insensivity". Many targeted him stating that how he can ignore when he himself is a father of two daughters (Aishwarya and Soundarya).

Rajinikanth's ardent fans quickly flung into action and came to his rescue. They defended him stating that there was no need for him to respond on every issue. Moreover, the cops have arrested the culprits in both the incidents.

Here, we bring you a few posts from Twitter:
