Known for her performances in films like Sasikumar’s ‘Kidaari’ and ‘Vetrivel’, actress Nikhila Vimal has registered her stand against Raja’s insensitive remarks about how Periyar’s statues in TN must be demolished. Raja had also mentioned that Periyar was a caste extremist in his post which he later deleted. Nikhila also had shared the incidence in Tirupattur where those who demolished Periyar staue were tied and beaten up.
