When Sathyanarayana the president of the fan clubs visited Kumbakonam he had to face a hostile crowd of Rajni fans. They questioned him about the attitude of their matinee idol. They pointed out that Kamalhassan had paid Rs 12 lakhs and sent a condolence message from Korea while Rajni has given only Rs 1 lakh and did not even send a message.
